The goal of the merge-release-tags job is to provide a merge commit<br>
in review tying the new tag from a non-master branch history into<br>
the master branch history (but only if it's higher than the latest<br>
tag in master). In both cases here, the commit you tagged already<br>
appears in the master branch history, so there is nothing for the<br>
job to do. Unfortunately, its current failure mode in that situation<br>
seems to be to attempt to push the branch tip back up as a new<br>
change for review rather than aborting/skipping the push (which<br>
would make more sense).<br>
<br>
Anyway, it should be safe to ignore the failure results of the job<br>
in the two cases you linked, as the service it wanted to provide you<br>
was entirely unnecessary for these particular tags.<br>
