Description

When creating a local tag and pushing it to gitea it creates that tag as a release but if I want to then delete the remote tag it rejects even though this tag has not been used as a release when creating a release from the web UI. I can also not delete the tag/release from the web UI as you can do if you create a release within the web UI itself.


$ git tag test3
$ git push origin test3
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To server:user/test.git
 * [new tag]         test3 -> test3

$ git push --delete origin test3
remote: Gitea: branch refs/tags/test3 is protected from deletion
To server:user/test.git
 ! [remote rejected] test3 (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@server:user/test.git'
