Description Jan-Philipp Steghöfer

Hey there,

I have been experimenting with a pomless Tycho build of Eclipse Capra. Unfortunately, this does not work properly when using unleash:perform-tycho to create releases. However, Maven unleash-maven-plugin already pushed the tag for the release before failing the release itself. I now have a tag for the new release which is incorrect (the version numbers in the MANIFEST.MF files haven't been updated) and I need to remove the tag to run the release process again with a pom-based build.

Alas, I can't:

bash-3.2$ git push --delete origin 0.8.1
remote: error: branch refs/tags/0.8.1:
remote: You need 'Delete Reference' rights or 'Push' rights with the 
remote: 'Force Push' flag set to delete references.

Could you please give me permission to delete the reference or, alternatively, delete the 0.8.1 tag in our repo?

Thanks and happy holidays,
Jan-Philipp

I've deleted the tag.
