All my previous pull requests were like that. I did the split branch/tag
beacuse the ambiguous name for branch and brings some hassle to push or
remove them. I thought a separate tag with same top commit as the branch
plus mentioning the tag in the mail would be enough to verify the pulled
branch. But apparently was not, sorry for the trouble.
