Re: Release tags

[Jambunathan K]

I am not sure whether the OP is using git repo of Emacs.

I remember using

    git fetch --tags origin

to refresh tags.  Cannot recollect the exact scenario when I had to do
this.

,---- From git help fetch
|  -t, --tags
|      Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch heads are
|      downloaded, but tags that do not point at objects reachable from
|      the branch heads that are being tracked will not be fetched by this
|      mechanism. This flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
|      downloaded. The default behavior for a remote may be specified with
|      the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. See git-config(1).

Just guessing here.
