That is unusual, I just do "git pull" and I'm quite sure this will
bring down the tags.


Got it.
This is because I have TAGS in the .gitignore as inherited by the original
git clone or git pull. And I think this is deliberate to avoid clash between local tags if any.

I will try to move forward from there

Sorry to answer my own mail.

Now it does work and the problem I was facing was a too simple
.git/config

adding the necessary decl below is definitely helping
[remote "origin"]
        url = http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/cobbler
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master

thanks

Phil.
