clone behavior not showing tag

[John D. Mitchell]

I tag a respository.

Then I clone it (hg clone -r nameOfTag new-repo).

But, new-repo doesn't actually have the tag in it. I.e., hg tags
doesn't show the tag and the tip is the changeset that was tagged
rather than being the tag change.

That seems wrong to me.  I.e., if I've gone to trouble to create a tag
and then cloned from it, I really want that tag information to be
preserved in the new repository.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
John
