Technically you're all set - you pulled rc3 together with my tag. But
if you pulled rc3 separately and then my tag, the merge commit for the
latter would look much cleaner.

And for the record: you don't need to rebase anything. Does net-next
require you to? That would be weird. I assume they also are based on
one of the RC tags. You almost never should rebase on top of an rc,
instead you merge it into your branch and send the PR starting from
the latest rc tag. Git is smart and will figure it out. You may be
afraid you'll "lose" some commits because you will not see it in the
immediate git log. That's true, they will be buried underneath the
pile of Merge commits from upstream, but worry not: git will always
find all commits missing from upstream when you do `git request-pull`.
