Hi @gottesmm , can give me more context, I will take this up.

The issue is that git fetch does not fetch tags as well. You have to pass an additional --tags flag, e.g.: git fetch --tags. I think the right thing to do here is just to change git fetch to use git fetch --tags. The --tags is additional according to the git man page.

I checked out `update_checkout.py` but haven't found any place where we are fetching remote tags.Also, we can't run

$update-checkout --tags  # There is --tag argument but it is just from checking single tag

as tags is not a correct argument flag. I guess if we want to fetch all the remote tags then we will need to implement a new argument may be --tags and methods for it.

Right now there is a `tag` flag which fetches a particular tag and updates it and it works fine.

$ update-checkout --tag refs/tags/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2017-09-23-a

@gottesmm I am just clarifying the requirement with the existing scenario. Let me know if you want me to add a method to fetch all tags.

That isn't what I meant. I meant I think we just should always be passing --tags to git in update_checkout. Then we will always fetch tags in addition to the rest of the normal things we fetch.
