A while ago the default behavior of git pull was changed to fetch all tags which point to objects that can be reached from any of the tracked heads. Old behaviour: Option --tags was needed to fetch tags at all. Current behavior: Option --tags forces to download all tags and the objects they point to. Option --no-tags works like the old default behavior. Readers of Kernel Hackers' Guide to git will most certainly have a recent enough version of git so that the "download_tags" subsection can be removed without replacement. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== ==-- ===== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
