To update the tag on the server (as it will reject a force push), do
the following:
1) Delete the tag locally and on the server

git tag -d <tag name>
git push origin :<tag name>

2) Create a new annotated tag and push that to the server:

git tag -s <tag name> <commit sha>
git push origin <tag name>

3) People with a checkout who want the updated tag, run:

git remote update
