So there are two remaining items, I think. - After creating a tags/for-linus signed tag and pushing it to tags/for-linus, asking request-pull to request that tag to be pulled seems to lose the tag message from the output. - Docs. [Footnote] *1* Not that it is always acceptable to break the existing users as long as they are clueful ones and they are given an escape hatch. But this time I know I won't be in the middle of firestorm like the one we had immediately after 1.6.0, as long as I keep the URL of the message I am responding to in the list archive ;-)
