<p>By default, tags are not included when you <code>push</code> to or
<code>fetch</code> from a remote repository. In order to explicitly
update these you must include the <code>--tags</code> option to transfer
all the tags on the repo.

commit or point in your repo as important. This also allows
you to refer to that commit with a more memorable reference
than a SHA.
