{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Attempting to remove tag results in exception","articleBody":"I am attempting to use GitPython to remove a tag from a local clone which does not exist in the remote repo. After fetching a remote, remote.stale_refs shows the following stale tag: `\u003cgit.RemoteReference \"refs/remotes/refs/tags/new_tag\"\u003e`. This already seems to be a problem, as the path to the tag should be `refs/tags/new_tag`. When I run `ref.delete(repo, ref)` (where `ref` is the `git.RemoteReference` and `repo` is its corresponding `git.Repo` instance), I get the following exception:\n\n```\nGitCommandError: 'git branch -d -r refs/tags/new_tag' returned exit status 1: error: remote branch 'refs/tags/new_tag' not found.\n```\n\nAdditionally, `ref.name` is set to `refs/tags/new_tag`, so at least that much looks correct.\n\nMy GitPython version is **0.3.2.1**. I have not yet had a chance to test with a newer version.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/terminalmage","@type":"Person","name":"terminalmage"},"datePublished":"2015-02-20T04:02:46.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/260/GitPython/issues/260"}
