To flesh out my earlier example:

$ cd project

$ git tag -m 'something of note' my-tag
$ git remote add me https://github.com/me/project.git
$ git config branch.master.remote me
$ git tag -m 'something of note'
$ git push master my-tag
My intent there is publish both master and mytag, but my-tag goes to
origin. It's obvious if you think carefully about (and know) the rules,
and it's user error. But what fault do we take for designing a feature
that causes confusion?
Good example. Sorry, I misunderstood your one-liner. I agree that
this is confusing. Tags are a bit of an outlier, and we have to think
of some way to behave sensibly with them. I'll let you know if I
think of something in the next few hours.
