I’m trying to get all refs from an external repository when cloning. I exported them all before, by doing push --mirror, so the external repository should have them, as far as I know.

How can I force all refs to be pulled?

    git fetch --tags

    should be enough to get all branches, and all tags from your remote mirror bare repo.

    -t
--tags

    Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at objects reachable from the branch heads that are being tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism.
    This flag lets all tags and their associated objects be downloaded.
