"git push origin :food"
gives me: "error: dst refspec food matches more than one."
However, deleting the remote tag (:tags/foo) works with your suggestion.
"git push origin :refs/remotes/origin/foo" showed success (and warning "remote: warning: Allowing deletion of corrupt ref."), but did not work.
