Re: Re* How to generate pull-request with info of signed tag

Come to think of it, the last patch I sent out on request pull was very
wrong....

And this should fix it.

Subject: [PATCH] request-pull: do not emit "tag" before the tagname

The whole point of the recent update to allow "git pull $url $tagname" is
so that the integrator does not have to store the (signed) tag that is
used to convey authenticity to be recorded in the resulting merge in the
local repository's tag namespace.  Asking for a merge be made with "git
pull $url tag $tagname" defeats it.

Note that the request can become ambiguous if the requestor has a branch
with the same name as the tag, but that is not a new problem limited to
pulling. I wouldn't mind if somebody wants to add disambiguation to the
find_matching_ref logic in the script as a separate patch, though.
