Tags are not preserved after "git push"

[giampaolo]

I just run fast-export against my psutil repository:
https://code.google.com/p/psutil/source/checkout

fast-export.sh completes successfully and I can see all my tags exported into the new GIT repository:

giampaolo@UX32VD:/tmp/newgit$ git tags
release-0.1.0   Avoided to call distutils.core.setup() twice which caused setup.py to generate two .exe installers when running "setup.py bdist_wininst".
release-0.1.1   Get rid of MANIFEST file.
release-0.1.2   Added distutil's "keyword" argument.
...

I then pushed the new GIT repository on a remote repository:

git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:grodola/prjname.git
git push origin mastter

Everything looks good except that if I change directory then clone the repository I just created all the tags are gone. Any idea?

git push origin mastter

This is not related to hg-fast-export, have a look at the documentation
for git push:

git push --help, third paragraph in the DESCRIPTION section:

 When the command line does not specify what to push with <refspec>...
 arguments or --all, --mirror, --tags options, the command finds the
 default <refspec> by consulting remote.*.push configuration, and if it
 is not found, honors push.default configuration to decide what to push
 (See gitlink:git-config[1] for the meaning of push.default).

If you want the tags to be pushed, you have to say so.
