svn2git migration – tags not being copied – Debian

I’ve used svn2git (running on Debian) to try migrating an SVN repository to Git and then pushed to GitHub:

svn2git https://localhost/svn/test-repository/space-invaders --username user
git remote add origin https://github.com/my-username/space-invaders.git
git push --all

The source SVN repository has lots of tags:

But afterwards, no tags have made it into GitHub:

I’ve seen the FAQ, but to be honest I don’t really understand it. The tags aren’t showing up in the gitk UI either.

I did try using GitHub’s own importer, but this didn’t preserve any of the history which was very frustrating.

svn2git output:
