driver core patches for 3.3-rc1

I tried to create a signed tag for this pull request. It's call
"driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes" in the repo below, but when I did:
git request-pull master git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/ driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes > msg.txt

I got the text below, no signed tag with the wording that I added to it that I could see. Now I am still using git 1.7.8.3, is that why? If so, I'll go build 1.7.9 as I see that is now out today.

Did I mess something up? I created the tag with:
git tag -u kroah.com -s driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes driver-core-linus

Could it be that the tag and the branch are at the same point in the tree right now? Or something else?

The wording I put in the tag is:
Here are some patches for the 3.3-rc1 tree.

It contains the removal of the sysdev code, now that all users of it are gone, as well as some sysfs bugfixes that have been reported by users. There are also some documentation updates here as well.

All of these have been in the linux-next tree for the past week.

thanks,

Ehh, the older versions never expected people to ask a tag to be pulled in the first place, so there is no way they would have known to unwrap the tag and pasted its tag message in the output ;-).

The request-pull script in 1.7.9 has finally received some belated love. Since mid 2009, it didn't get much updates that improve the user visible experience.

Heh, fair enough :)

As most of us used our own scripts for this, that makes sense, nice to see it cleaned up a lot, I'll use it for my requests after I get 1.7.9 installed on my systems...

No, everything looks fine, and I just pulled it.

But your old version of git won't be able to do that pull (or request-pull) since it doesn't have support for the signed tag feature. So the signed tag itself works fine, and I can pull from you, but yes, you need to have a newer version yourself to see how that works.

Ok, thanks for verifying that I didn't mess anything up on my side.
