[Sorry for the top-posting. I *hate* Outlook.]
I will need to check why my system is showing old man pages. I am running
something compiled from the git tree on kernel.org.
Thanks!

I have found that if I add a remote and do a git fetch -t -f
remote_name that it *only* pulls tags.
Reading the man page it seems like it should pull all the remotes and
all the tags and the commits only reachable by tags.
This is what appears in the documentation we ship these days.
-t::
--tags::
This is a short-hand for giving refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
refspec from the command line, to ask all tags to be fetched
and stored locally. Because this acts as an explicit
refspec, the default refspecs (configured with the
remote.$name.fetch variable) are overridden and not used.
