Stretch + git (and associated deps) from stretch-backports fails to fetch new tags from upstream remote. In the last month or so I've encountered this in three projects. Here is the fastest way to reproduce: # from a stretch + git (and associated deps) from stretch-backports git clone https://github.com/technomancy/find-file-in-project.git cd find-file-in-project git reset --hard 5.6.8 git pull # refs are pulled, tags are not git reset --hard 5.6.8 git fetch # nothing is fetched I've also tried using git gc --aggressive to see if it made any difference. It didn't :-( Hopefully the cause can be discovered soon. It's a major impediment to a git-based packaging workflow. Kind regards, Nicholas
