Is there a reason that there's no 2.6.9 tag in the Git repository?
It seems like it should go on 4241505.

It is there on my local repository and on github. I'm surprised you
don't see it ?

This is odd.  I have two copies of the Git repository on my machine
and I see it in one and not the other.  In one of them I've used
fetch for maint and master, but not pull (i.e. maint and master are
behind origin/maint and origin/master).  This one doesn't see the
tag.  On the other one I've used pull to keep the local branches up
to date.  There must be something about Git I don't understand.
Actually, there's a lot about it I don't understand well.

Sorry for the confusion, the tag is ok.

Huh. That’s strange, retrieving tags is fetch’s job and pull is
just fetch + merge. Do the tags appear if you merge origin/maint into
maint on the “fetched” repo? Use —ff-only to make sure you
don’t get a gratuitous merge commit.

Yes, it is strange. I tried updating my local maint and master branches to be the same as the remote branches and this didn't help. That tag still doesn't exist in that copy of the repo. That, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. This copy has only 9 tags defined. The other one, which has 2.6.9, has 209 tags defined. Somehow one copy of the repo lost 200 tags. Furthermore .git/refs/tags is empty in that directory, so I don't know where the 9 that are defined come from. I have no idea what is going on, but it is clearly a local problem.
