Hi,

I've a repo on github and apparently I used characters not accepted by
github web interface (if I clone the repo, it's ok).
This is a repo where I push to.

I've seen here how to remove remote branches, but was there any hint
on how to perform the same removal on remote tags ?

Thanks in advance.

The same way:

git push origin :refs/tags/mytag

```
