This example implicates salsa, but is actually reproducible: git clone git@salsa.debian.org:emacsen-team/find-file-in-project.git cd find-file-in-project git remote add upstream-vcs https://github.com/technomancy/find-file-in-project.git git fetch upstream-vcs Result: Fails to fetch the upstream 5.6.8 and 5.7.0 tags. Fetches up to 5.6.7. As shown in the previous single github remote example 5.6.8 and 5.7.0 are fetchable. Cheers, Nicholas
