But you are able to get the bpf patches, from the tag, right?

Very strange, I didn't fix it up, redo or anything, push the tree, 
tag, push the tag, git request-pull >> email. And request-pull did 
not complain about anything.

I will double check all the outputs next time, really not sure how this
happened..

While I have you - I see that you drop my SoB at the end of the merge
message, usually. Should I not put it there?  I put it there because
of something I read in Documentation/process/...
