Folks,
You'll have seen I've been doing the 1.1.0 release.
One thing I wanted to do was to see what the tags were on the origin repo,
as distinct from the tags in my own local repo.
A bit of googling around suggested adding:
[remote "origin"]
url = ... whatever ...
fetch = ... whatever ...
fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/origin/*
to my .git/config.
Then, a "git fetch" (or "git pull") will copy down the origin's tags under
origin/xxx. Thus "isis-1.1.0" on the origin will appear as
"origin/isis-1.1.0" locally.
I've updated the dev env guidance on our site [1]; you might want to do
this configuration.
Cheers
Dan
