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.
