Problems with deleting tags?

[Alexander Belchenko]

I believe there was open bug about "immortal" tags. Basically you have to
delete it from all branches, and either `push --overwrite` to other/master
branches when nothing changed but tags, or simply delete it in every branch
you care about.
Maybe you need to restrict yout tags usage to only "tag releases" case.
