I've been cloning a few repos from github that, even though I know they have branches/tags, do not have them once I clone them onto my local drive. strage. I try to list the tags (git tag) but nothing comes up...
I would look into .git/refs/tags/ and that too is empty.

the repos in question are:
http://github.com/jchris/hovercraft.git
http://github.com/apache/couchdb.git

any ideas? I really need specific tags/branches, and not the HEAD of the master
