Could anyone please check and advise if the attached .git/config will allow me 
to push to the playground repo and later branch for testing, or demo the 
appropriate .git/config entries or git config commands to do so properly?

Is there any way to move tags to a later commit once pushed?
I have one in wget that can't be deleted or forced because of the hook fallthru.

Finally are there other CI jobs.cgi?params=... other than id, e.g. 
jobs.cgi?by=Brian+Inglis?
