Hi. Thanks for the report.

We could have git-debpush detect `mirror = true` and fail a check.
Simply overriding it seems hazardous.
But I have questions about your expectations?
Where do you publish your branch?
Implicitly, for us, that means where did you want git-debpush to push
the *branch* (as opposed to the tag). It wants to push the branch as
well as the tag, because not doing so can create a very confusing
situation where the relevant git objects are only publicly available
as a tag or on dgit-repos. That sets future uploaders up to fail.
Or to put it another way, what's the principal git for this package?

You're welcome to use --tag-only of course, but I think most users
will appreciate the convenience. This also allows git-debpush to help
the user avoid a lot of possible mistakes. (Like the one I mention
above.)
