FWIW, I did end up figuring this out eventually.
According to the git docs, "By default, only tags on fetched branches
are imported"
Because of ZooKeeper's practice of cherry-picking and releasing from a
local release branch, the tags are not tags of commits which exist in
one of the fetched branches. So, they are not fetched by default.
release-3.6.0, for example, is a tag of commit
b4c89dc7f6083829e18fae6e446907ae0b1f22d7, which does not exist as a
commit in any branch.
In other projects I contribute to, this is not usually a problem,
because tagged commits are *always* merged into maintenance branches
(and eventually to the `master` branch as well, to preserve a complete
history there).
I was able to work around this in my local ZooKeeper git clone by
adding the `tagopt = --tags` explicitly to my git config with:
git config remote.origin.tagopt --tags
So now, `git remote update` (or `git fetch --all`) pulls down tags for
these orphaned commits, even if they don't exist in a branch.
Hopefully this information is useful to others who are confused why
they aren't fetching tags after they are released.
