Hi, (using git version 2.19.2.windows.1) I've just encountered one of those WTH moments. I have a bare repository core.git (BARE:master) $ git branch 1.0 2.0 * master core.git (BARE:master) $ git tag 1.0.1651 1.0.766 2.0.1103 2.0.1200 I published the repo using: git push --all --follow-tags This succeeded, but there seem to be no tags pushed, just branches. So, I followed with core.git (BARE:master) $ git push --tags To XXX - [deleted] 1.0 - [deleted] 2.0 ! [remote rejected] master (refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master) error: failed to push some refs to 'XXX' And, I've found out that all branches and tags have been wiped in both, local repo and remote :) I restored the repo and tried out git push origin 1.0 git push origin --tags and this time both succeeded, without wiping out any refs. Could anyone help me to understand why remote-less git push --tags is/was so dangerous and unforgiving?! Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
