Subject: Push --follow tags does not agree with its documentation
Date: Fri, 04 Dec 2015 22:41:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449265306.29869.6.camel@kaarsemaker.net> (raw)

When deleting an annotated tag with git push -d while having
push.follwTags set to true, causes push to push other annotated tags. I
was surprised by this as this does not agree with the documentation

	Push all the refs that would be pushed without this option, and
	also push annotated tags in refs/tags that are missing from the
	remote but are pointing at commit-ish that are reachable from
	the refs being pushed. This can also be specified with
	configuration variable push.followTags. For more information,
	see push.followTags in git-config(1).

Note also that the tag pushed in error is not even reachable from the
tag that's being deleted.

$ git config push.followTags
true

$ git push origin --delete v2.5.1
To /tmp/whelk.git/
 - [deleted]         v2.5.1

$ git push origin --delete 2.5

 * [new tag]         v2.5.1 -> v2.5.1

Which one is correct in this case, the behaviour or the documentation?
