Just a heads-up and congrats: octopus merges of signed tags work well,
and did exactly the RightThing(tm), both at merge time and with
"--show-signature".
I knew it was supposed to work, but I have to admit that I was a bit
apprehensive about it when I tried.
Current top-of-head (commit 81d48f0aee54) in the kernel, in case you care.
Good job,
Linus

I looked at it again, and it makes me wonder if we should further reword
it to say "side branch #1, tagged 'devicetree-for-linus'" instead of the
current "parent #2, tagged 'devicetree-for-linus'". It looks very weird to
start counting from #2, when we know we will never show #1 there.

My immediate thought regarding the "side branch #1" version is not
wanting to have to do the math (even though it's a simple n+1), if I
decide to convert that text into ^ parent selection notation.

"Math is hard, let's go shopping".
But I think even barbie could do the "add one" thing. That said, I
think the current thing is already more than good enough, and I don't
think it's at all confusing to talk about "parent #2". In fact, I
think it's more obvious than "side branch #1".

I think Jacob is correct to point out that mice are even dumber than
Barbie and cannot do the "add one" thing, so let's leave the output as is.
Thanks for an amusing response.
