Package: dgit
Version: 9.7
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hello,
`git remote update` doesn't fetch tags unless remote branches include
the commits at which those tags point. Thus, if upstream pushes their
release tag but fails to push their master branch, `git remote update`
will not fetch the release tag.
I've been in this situation more than once when following the
workflows detailed in these manpages, so let's just recommend a
command which will definitely try to fetch the latest release tag.
