TIL, thank you!

For the others watching in, as you know all commits have "headers"
which are normally not printed.  The above commit looks like

The "mergetag" header contains the original annotated tag, indented
by one space.

In this case, Ted included the same message (formatted slightly
differently) in the pull e-mail and Linus copied it into the
merge commit, so it worked out in the end.
