I was seeing the same thing. It went away when I upgraded to
a newer git version (I was using 1.7.1). Segher looked into
and here are his comments from #gcc:
<segher> in 1.6.5 an optimisation was introduced that has the server not
send everything it has on any clone, but only what you ask to clone
<segher> it forgot to ask for the tags it seems; it was fixed in 1.7.4 or so
<segher> so affected versions end up with a clone where the objects for those
tags are missing, and will error whenever you try to use them.
otherwise no problem
