Using a different URL, especial with a different protocol,
could indeed be the reason that I missed tags.

Webpage http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Development
says to use  http:  and it says to use `cg-update origin`,
but I did previous only `cg-update`, I should have recheck
the syslinux wiki earlier.

But doing `cg-update origin` got me also errors:

What is needed to fix 'cg-fetch: unable to get the HEAD branch' ?
