Error fetching tags

[Peter Kronenberg]

I was having a problem seeing a new tag that had been created.  Tried pull, fetch, etc from the GUI.  Finally from the command line, I did 'git fetch --tags' and it turned out the tag was a duplicate so it was being rejected.  Had to add '--force'.  But SmartGit was totally silent about the issue

In the Pull dialog, under More options, did you select "Update existing and fetch new tags"? This is what "--force" does.
