Problems with git push --follow-tags in master

I certainly do not want to pull anything! Perhaps I should destroy my local copy of the "black" branch.

Any other ideas?

I deleted my local "black" branch and then pulled it again.  Now all seems well.  I was able to:

    git push --follow-tags

but there is still no v6.0 tag on origin/master.  Otoh, gitk show the v6.0 tag as yellow, whereas gitk shows the tags that did get pushed to origin/master as green.  No idea what this means.

BTW, I had to log in again to GitHub, after which I got a weird message from github, but I don't think this is worrisome.
