Pushing a single tag (ref + object)?

While we are using a repo which holds all our branches
(dev/test/prod), locally we have a group of developers that checkout
one repo-per-branch, working on it with a
cg-clone/cg-update/cg-commit/cg-push workcycle. So far it's working
great.

Now, I am at a loss on how to push a _tag_ object+ref to the repo,
without doing a git-push --all, which I naturally don't want to do. I
managed to push the object itself, doing

    git-push repository tagrefname

But that ddn't create the ref on the repo. So I had to do

    scp .git/refs/tags/refname repostory/refs/tags/

I'm feeling a tad lost here. Surely there's a way? Or should I be
crafting a patch against git-push-script? Problem is, git-push script
doesn't do any parsing of the params. Grmbl.

This really should work. 

Can you try with

	git-send-pack repository tagname

first? 

If that works for you (it really really should, since that's what I do all 
the time), then the problem is in "get_remote_refs_for_push"..

Oh. Looking at "git-push.sh", I think it is just really really buggy.

It does all this magic to set "x", but then it never uses it, and uses 
"$@" instead after all. Which it has shifted all away. 

How does that thing work at all? Me, I've always used the raw 
git-send-pack program, so I've never tested it, but obviously others are 
using it.
