+ [2020-06-21T17:26:52Z] sm[m] well, not quite.
+ [2020-06-21T17:28:08Z] sm[m] I deleted it with git push origin :refs/heads/1.18 (since git push -d origin :refs/heads/1.18 fails, "matches more than one"). And I deleted the tag locally, which was recreating it on push.
+ [2020-06-21T17:29:27Z] sm[m] Now unfortunately I found another bogus tag, this time named "refs/heads/master". This one I can't delete remotely by either of those push commands
+ [2020-06-21T17:31:22Z] sm[m] I wonder what's another way to delete this tag on github
+ [2020-06-21T17:32:30Z] sm[m] haha, found it: git push origin :refs/tags/refs/heads/master

message no. 182620

while doing a similar push in magit fails with "error: src refspec refs/heads/1.18-branch matches more than one."
