git request-pull gets confused?

[Emmanuel Grumbach]

Hi,


I have patches that rely on mac80211-next. Until now, I would wait for John to pull them from mac80211-next into wireless-next,
then I'd merge wireless-next into my tree. On top of that I'd apply the new patches.

"git request-pull wireless-next/master iwlwifi-next HEAD" didn't get confused in this case, it would show my patches only and not the
patches in wireless-next obviously.

This time, I did something slightly different. I merged Johannes's tag - the one he sent to John. So that I got content from mac80211-next
before it made it to wireless-next, and on top of that I applied my new patches. I thought I could wait for John to pull from Johannes and
then, I'd just have to fetch wireless-next and let do git request-pull do its magic... But...

"git request-pull wireless-next/master iwlwifi-next HEAD" lists my merge patch:
Emmanuel Grumbach (1):
      Merge tag 'mac80211-next-for-john-2014-09-12' into HEAD

which is perfectly fine. I can see no mac80211 patches in the patch list, but...

It seems that the baseline taken by git request-pull to list the files I change is wrong:
The following changes since commit f991e17ba2584e2be66476cc468f19769efd55cc:

  iwlwifi: mvm: align CSA GO NOA time event naming with the firmware (2014-09-14 22:02:24 +0300)

I'd expect git request-pull to notice that Johannes's tag that I pulled is already in wireless-next and that I am not really changing these files?

$ git --version
git version 1.9.1


Thoughts?
