I'd argue that pushing tags first *is* the better default as it ensures
tags become public if present. Once can always construct branches from
tags but not the other way round.

I might not understand your use case correctly. If the issue is that
pushing the same tag again fails than this should become idempotent
rather than switching the order.

(no idea how this got `-done` added to the address, ropening)
