Project sync fails with error Failed to download remote objects and refs: From https://github.com/<org>/<repo>\n...! in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform UI.

Issue

• When launching a job template or starting a manual project update in Ansible Automation Platform, the project synchronization fails.

  • The job template launch fails with a 400 Bad Request or the following error in the user interface:

    
    {"playbook":["Missing a revision to run due to failed project update."]}
    Reviewing the standard output (stdout) of the associated project sync job shows the following Git fetch failure:
    
    TASK [Update project using git] ************************************************
    fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": ["/usr/bin/git", "fetch", "--tags", "origin"], "msg": "Failed to download remote objects and refs:  From https://github.com/<org>/<repo>\n...! [rejected]        1.0.0 -> 1.0.0  (would clobber existing tag)"}
