cannot install because of tags

[visr]

On julia 0.5, when I try to install this package, it fails:

julia> Pkg.add("ColorSchemes")
INFO: Cloning cache of Clustering from https://github.com/JuliaStats/Clustering.jl.git
INFO: Cloning cache of ColorSchemes from https://github.com/cormullion/ColorSchemes.jl.git

The important part is Invalid reference name 'refs/tags/v"1.2.0"'.
I see 3 tags referring to 1.2.0:

V1.2.0
v"1.2.0"
v1.2.0

The last one is in the expected format. Could you remove the first two tags? GitHub allows you to delete the releases in the web interface, but not the tags. These can be removed with git tag -d tagname and pushed with git push origin :refs/tags/tagname. Do check that you don't accidentally remove the last one because of the terminal treating the " differently.

Thanks for putting together this package!

Thanks! You can tell I'm not a computer person... :) With your help I think I fixed it. Here's a new v0.5 install:

With luck, this should now work...!

(git makes me feel stupid sometimes...)

Works like a charm! Thanks!
