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.
