cannot push tags + commits together to gitlab.com

Summary

Cannot push tags + commits simultaneously to gitlab.com

Steps to reproduce

create a commit and an annotated tag. push them together either using --tags or --follow-tags

e.g. git push origin HEAD:master --follow-tags

Example Project

I can replicate the issue on this repo. But since the commit / tag never makes it to the server, this is really just the default repo that gets created w/ a Readme file.

What is the current bug behavior?

You get this error, and the push fails:

git push origin HEAD:master --follow-tags
Warning: Permanently added 'gitlab.com,172.65.251.78' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The tag + commit should get pushed to the repo.
