From: Phil Hord <phil.hord@xxxxxxxxx>
'git tag -d' accepts one or more tag refs to delete, but each deletion
is done by calling `delete_ref` on each argv. This is painfully slow
when removing from packed refs. Use delete_refs instead so all the
removals can be done inside a single transaction with a single write.
I have a repo with 24,000 tags, most of which are not useful to any
developers. Having this many refs slows down many operations that
would otherwise be very fast. Removing these tags when they've been
accidentally fetched again takes about 30 minutes using delete_ref.
git tag -l feature/* | xargs git tag -d
Removing the same tags using delete_refs takes less than 5 seconds.
