Not only that, the "look at the ls-remote output and guess what you are teeling the recipient to pull" code gives tags/ext4_for_linus even if there is not ext4-for-linus branch; if I recall correctly we did this on purpose so that older git that did not DWIM "git pull ext4_for_linus" to look at targs/ext4_for_linus.
