Describe the bug
GitHub Actions runner fails to trigger workflows when multiple tags are pushed simultaneously using git push --tags. The workflow only triggers successfully when pushing a single tag.

To Reproduce

  1. Create workflow with tag trigger:
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - releases/**
  1. Create multiple tags:
git tag releases/v1.0.0
git tag releases/v1.0.1
  1. Push tags: git push --tags
  2. Observe: No workflow runs are triggered

Expected behavior
Workflow should trigger for each matching tag pushed, regardless of whether tags are pushed individually or in bulk.

Runner Version and Platform

  • Runner: Latest GitHub-hosted runner
  • OS: Ubuntu-latest

What's not working?
When pushing multiple tags simultaneously, no workflows are triggered despite tags matching the pattern. Same workflow triggers correctly when tags are pushed individually.

Job Log Output
N/A - Issue is that jobs don't trigger at all with multiple tags.

Runner and Worker's Diagnostic Logs
N/A - No logs available as runners aren't initiated.
