Hi Guys,

  I recently created a branch for the upcoming binutils 2.31 release
  in the sourceware git repository.  Unfortunately in the process I
  made a mistake and first created a tag with the branchname, rather
  than a branch.  I eventually realised my mistake and then proceeded
  to make the branch, but now there is tag with the same name as the
  branch, and this is causing for some people when they try to check
  out the sources.

  I tried to delete the tag, but:

    % git push origin :refs/tags/binutils-2_31-branch
    remote: *** Deleting a tag is not allowed in this repository
    remote: error: hook declined to update refs/tags/binutils-2_31-branch

  Can I ask you to delete the tag for me, or is there some way that
  I can rename it instead of deleting it ?

Cheers
  Nick
