Right.

Apparently git request-pull is too damn smart for its own good, and will find the tags even when they aren't mentioned, making you think it made it to me. Bot it doesn't - so then I have to go search for them by hand.

Added Junio and git to the cc: if git finds the tag and uses that for the request-pull message text, then it should use the tagname for the pull request line too. Or, alternatively, don't be smart at all, and force users to name the tag explicitly. The current "both smart and dumb" combination seems to be the worst of both world.
