Yes. When you fetch from a git repository, you get the entire commit history
at least for the branch that you asked for. This may include other tags that you
did not ask for explicitly. When you do "git fetch <your-remote>" *without*
specifying a branch or tag, git will fetch *all* branches.
Looks like QtMoko uses submodules that use submodules. Git submodule commands
are still in their infancy, I'd say, so expect some warts. Where the installed
git supports it, I usually use "git submodule init" (initial checkout) or "git
submodule sync" (subsequent checkouts), followed by "git submodule --init
--recursive". Check the documentation.
