can you please make your tags unique? For example call this one:

efi-urgent-for-v5.7-rc6

or so so that the git history can show for which -rc that urgent tag was
meant?

I mean, technically one can do that already with git but it would be
easier if it had the rc in the name. We do that already in tip - either
-rc name or the date of the tag.

Also, using the same tag gives:

>From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi
 ! [rejected]                  efi-next           -> efi-next  (would clobber existing tag)
 ! [rejected]                  efi-urgent         -> efi-urgent  (would clobber existing tag)

when I try to fetch from you and I can delete the old tag but having
unique tag names makes the history more user-friendly, I'd say.

Thx.
