Both: git fetch rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chrisw/linux-2.6.12.y.git tag v2.6.12.1 or git fetch tag rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chrisw/linux-2.6.12.y.git v2.6.12.1 die. Or am I just trying to take a point you were making about not pulling all tags (which I can live with, just was not aware it was this way, and I agree that it does offer up a lot of possiblities of me using local tags in the future), and taking it literally? thanks, greg k-h
