You have to use "git pull ../baseline master:somewhere".
This "master:somewhere" expression makes git fetch and stores
the tags along with the branch' commits. Better yet, create an
entry in remotes: .git/remotes or .git/config, depending on the version
of git you have. The current master on kernel.org has the support
for latter (branches in .git/config), which will also be in the upcoming
release 1.5.
