I am using git from master branch and wanted to try the signed pull
request. I have pushed the signed tag to repo.or.cz, but not sure how to
generate pull request with signed tag information?
The correct script should grok the following command line:
$ git request-pull v1.7.7.4 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git v1.7.7.5
and include
are available in the git repository at
git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git tag v1.7.7.5
for you to fetch changes up to 66c1...
but we didn't loosen the code that inspects the publishing repository to
allow asking for a tag that points at an older part of the history to be
pulled.
Here is an update.

Subject: request-pull: update the "pull" command generation logic
The old code that insisted on asking for the tip of a branch to be pulled
were not updated when we started allowing for a tag to be pulled. When a
tag points at an older part of the history and there is no branch that
points at the tagged commit, the script failed to say which ref is to be
pulled.
