[JENKINS-37120] Git Publisher fails to push tags with REJECTED_OTHER_REASON

Git Publisher Post-Build step fails to push tags.

As outlined here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35995736/jenkins-git-publisher-unable-to-push-tags/36575057, downgrading to earlier versions of these plugins makes this work:

• Git plugin : 2.4.0 works, 2.5.3 does not work


• Git client plugin: 1.18.0 works, 1.19.7 does not work
  
  (probably versions in between do not work either. I did not test any other combinations)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a job that clones a github repo, use credentials with a key for a user that has push privileges in github. Additional behaviors: checkout to local branch "master", Wipe and force clone.


2. Add a Git Publisher step, add tag with arbitrary name, check create and update checkboxes


3. No other job configuration items are necessary

With versions labeled "does not work" above, job fails with the following error:

*Wiping out workspace first.
