Because 'my_tag' is interpreted as the name or URL of the remote, not as a branch name. You can do "git push origin" and it will guess the branch name(s) to push, but because of that, the one-parameter push can't *also* be used to guess the remote name. In contrast, --tags is a flag, so it's actually the zero-parameter version of push, which assumes 'origin' and then guesses the branch name (and --tags changes the guessed result). Hope that helps.
