Ok. Whatever. Feel free to continue doing it, but at least then make
sure that the pull message refers to "tags/for-linus" and not that
ambiguous "for-linus" thing.

Because you screwed up that pull request, and I argue that you screwed
up exactly *because* it's ambiguous and confusing.  The confusion may
have happened before too, but because git will silently default to the
branch for the ambiguous case, I just never noticed that I didn't
actually get the proper signature. Now I noticed, because you said it
was signed and yet my pull got the non-signed thing.
