So, I tried to tag a release today (for alpha16).  Clearly I did the
wrong thing, as I've pushed a number of tags that I've inherited from
other people into the tree.

I did:

git tag -s release-4-0-0alpha16
git push origin --tags v4-0-test
git push origin --tags v4-0-stable:v4-0-stable

What should I have done?

Is there any way to remove these tags from the public repo?

Also, can someone much more careful than I please bypass autobuild to
merge v4-0-test, v4-0-stable and release-4-0-0-alpha16 tag into
master?  

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
