Sourcetree always tries to push a tag when not needed.

[Prakash Nadar]

Hi, every time I push changes to the remote, I always get this message

! [rejected] xxxx-iphone-1.4.1 -> xxxxx-iphone-1.4.1 (non-fast-forward)

the xxx-iphone-1.4.1 is one of many tag and I have never done anything with it. I see the same message if I copy paste the command issued by sourcetree on the console.

How do I make sure that git (or sourcetree) does not attempt to push this tag or how do I fix the repository that it does not push the tag as well.

Thanks.

The easiest way is to delete the tag locally if you don't need it.

If you want to keep the tag but not push it, you'll need 1.3 beta 3, which has the option in the Push dialog that says 'Push all tags' - you can uncheck this. Then when you want to push a tag, you can do it from the sidebar instead.

Thanks, I will start using the beta version.
