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?
