I think this was broken when git-push was made a built-in, and the documentation was not updated.

I use only tags in vN.M.L.. format and Linus does so too, so probably that was one of the reasons why this was not noticed for quite some time.

Fixes welcome, preferably to the builtin-push.c not to the documentation.
