Title

Create webhook event is not triggered when creating tags via git push

Description

After upgrading to Gitea 1.26.4, the Create webhook event is no longer triggered when a new Git tag is created using git push.

The Push event is delivered correctly, but Create is never sent.

How are you running Gitea?

Environment

• Gitea version: 1.26.4
• Docker image: docker.gitea.com/gitea:1.26.4
• Alpine Linux 3.23
• Git over SSH
• Database: MariaDB

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a repository webhook.

2. Enable only the Create event.

3. Create a new tag locally:

   git tag testing-example-20260713-rc1

4. Push the tag:

   git push origin testing-example-20260713-rc1

5. Check the webhook deliveries.

Expected behavior

A webhook should be delivered with:

• X-Gitea-Event: create
• A payload corresponding to the Create event (including ref and ref_type).

Actual behavior

No webhook is delivered.

If the Push event is enabled instead, a webhook is delivered with:

X-Gitea-Event: push

and the payload contains:

• before
• after
• commits
• head_commit
• ref: refs/tags/...
