git pull does not update my clone of PhoSim

[Former user]

I have a clone of phosim_release from autumn 2017. When I run git remote -v, I see

origin  http://bitbucket.org/phosim/phosim_release.git (fetch)
origin  http://bitbucket.org/phosim/phosim_release.git (push)

when I run git pull on master I see

warning: redirecting to https://bitbucket.org/phosim/phosim_release.git/
Already up-to-date.

However, after pulling, the head is still at

and I see no tags after 3.7.2. Did something change in the Bitbucket repo configuration to prevent pulls from working?

this is Scott Daniel, by the way (I once again failed to notice that I was anonymous when I filed this issue)

Huh... never mind. If I run git pull --tags, I get the tags. I guess I

1) did not realize that git pull did not bring down tags automatically

2) did not realize that new versions of PhoSim had been issued without moving the head of master.

Sorry for the noise.

ok, sounds good. i think all of this is just how git works (i don't understand why '--tags' is necessary as it seems rather important to get the tags). Except the one thing that is a phosim convention is that we update master only when its a new update (vX.Y) instead of a new patch (vX.Y.Z).
