You point to a branch, but then the pull request clearly implies there
is a tag with extra information in it.

And indeed, the actual thing I should pull is not at all for-linus,
it seems to be your tags/sound-3.6 tag.

I don't know if this is the old git pull-request breakage where it
stupidly corrects the remote branch when it verifies the branch
name, or whether it's some other scripting problem. I think current
git versions should not mess up the tag information, if that's the
cause, but please verify.

Oops, yes, it's indeed intended to be tags/sound-3.6.
So please pull from:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git tags/sound-3.6


FWIW, it was an output from git-pull-request, which fell back to the
equivalent branch.  Usually I check it manually but I forgot it at
this time just before going to a meeting.

This was with git 1.7.11.5.  I'll check whether this still happens
with 1.7.12.

The same problem still happens with git 1.7.12.
This is rather annoying than useful.

I can't reproduce here. What is your exact request-pull invocation? Is
request-pull showing a warning like:

  warn: You locally have sound-3.6 but it does not (yet)
  warn: appear to be at 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git
  warn: Do you want to push it there, perhaps?

(it should do so since v1.7.11.2). Maybe we need to make it possible to
bump that warning to a fatal error?

Hm, it looks like the check is performed only for tag objects.
In the example below, no warning appears:
% git tag mytest for-next
% git request-pull mytest~ 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git mytest

With an annotated or a signed tag, git seems giving a warning like
above, indeed.  So my test seemed wrong.  Sorry for the noise.

In the previous case, I don't know what really screwed up, since it
was against a signed tag.  Maybe I overlooked the warning as I'm
redirecting the output to a file.

 (it should do so since v1.7.11.2). Maybe we need to make it possible to
 bump that warning to a fatal error?

Yes, please!  It's easily overlooked.
Better to be strict but correct than friendly but wrong.

Just give an option to ignore the error if people really want to
ignore it.


thanks,

Takashi

This question was not answerd.  Did you ask request-pull to ask for
a branch to be pulled, or did you ask it to ask for the tag to be
pulled?

If the former, I would have say it is a pebcak.  Linus asked you to
ask a signed tag to be pulled, and you want to have the tag to be
pulled, but if you do not give git request-pull the tag but a
branch that the tag points at, the command does not have a good
reason to countermand your (apparent) wish that the branch is what
is to be pulled.
