Git - Missing tags after pull

It is NOT a duplicate of (almost;because stackoverflow wouldn't allow that)exact title
Git Pull - Everything up to date, but it's not

I'm missing two tags (Linux kernel v3.9-rc4 and v3.9-rc5 specifically)and the changes that they come with. I have tried too many commands and ran out of gray cells.

git reset
git reset --hard
git checkout HEAD
git pull
git fsck
git reset --hard HEAD

Q:Is it possible that my ISP have messed up with their caching(because they have done so) and cause all this?

git fetch --tags

If you have an upstream, use

git fetch --tags --all

--tags means "all tags"

--all means "all remotes" (i.e. origin and upstream)

Thanks to Mike I found the problem,
My remotes had changed auto-magically.I still have no idea how.
It would be good if someone could explain this. 

git remote add torvalds https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

I think you want git fetch --tags. From the git-fetch manual page:

   -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. The default behavior for a remote may be
       specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. See git-
       config(1).

If this doesn't work, please post the output of git fetch --tags --verbose.

Try 

git pull --tags

Extra characters.
