Actually the one I had in mind was
	git push origin --delete one two:three four
If it were
	git push origin --tags --delete=one --delete=four two:three
it would be perfectly understandable, though.

No, I am not saying that we should make --delete take a parameter, allow multiple of them, and make them compatible with --tags. At least not yet.
