No it's not.

You have a *branch* called for-linus that contains the commits you mention.

And then you have a *tag* called for-linus, but that's just my old
head that you've gone ahead and signed, which is entirely and utterly
pointless.

Christ, the amount of confusion in that tree. Don't alias tags and
branches. And if you do, make it clear which one you mean by *saying*
so, ie "tags/for-linus", not just the ambiguous "for-linus". Now
you've confused yourself, and because of the ambiguity you never even
noticed, because the *branch* for-linus had the right commits.

Don't do this kind of thing. That branch is pointless, and just confused you.
