BTW, since you tag doesn't have this changeset (and it should), it's your tag 
that's messed up.

Fortunately, for the 1.0 release, I started using a signed tag.

http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tag;h=5e5e6d6c16e1742996d93e8f3e946cf544d0b146

So this should help you figure out where your bogus tag came from.
