With the git or git+ssh protocol, tags will be autofollowed when you do 
a pull (only signed tags, I think). The auto-following is done by 
detecting tags that are fetched, so when you did a pull using rsync the 
tags weren't auto-followed but you got all the commits. Next, when you 
changed protocol to git:// you already had all the commit objects, so 
there was nothing to auto-detect tags on. Since you're using git:// now 
it should work as advertised in the future though.
