I'm a bit wiser now. Sorry for giving wrong advise, here
are corrections.

The defaults are:
- when fetching/pulling: receive any tags
- when pushing: *don't* send tags.
- unless when pushing with -mirror: send tags.
You can push your existing tags with an explicit one-shot command:
git push --tags
Next, you should tweak your local repository's default setting for
pushing future tags automatically along with the code:
git config push.followTags true
This will cause future tags to be pushed, but not all tags:
only "annotated" tags will be deemed worthy to be pushed
to others. You create these with the "-a" option:
git tag -a j805-beta-7
You will be thrown into your editor for writing the annotation.
Format is the same as with commit messages:
- a short title line
- optionally followed by a blank line and one or more
paragraphs. (You could use these to summarize the
highlights of the tagged beta/release or warn about
buggy features still in flux.)
A short annotation can also be provided via an option,
avoiding the editor:
git tag -a -m 'more bugfixes, no new features' j805-beta-7
Unannotated tags (also called "lightweight") are still kept private.
Also, any tag (annotated or not) referring only to private branches
is not pushed at all.
