Hi

no it doesn't ; I read some doc / forums about this issue, which can 
happen sometimes (ie you tag the wrong commit, push to remote, then 
change tag on your local repo and push again).
In that case the remote server can decide to refuse the push, even if 
force is added.

but more problematic, even if you manage to change on the remote, then 
all people that pulled the previous with the wrong tag won't get the 
update with the new tag (see 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19298600/tag-already-exists-in-the-remote-error-after-recreating-the-git-tag 
for a detailled answer).

So, all in all, I'd rather not try to force to much things on the remote 
server and risk to screw something (and in that case, it's hust a date 
in a file that was not committed correctly, not a too big issue)
