By pull the tag you mean using merge commits to merge the trees and
not rebase, doesn't that lock us down to only doing merge commits
rather than rebases later on? I have never used merge commits before.
There is some documentation around it that suggests not to use merges:

'While merges from downstream are common and unremarkable, merges from
other trees tend to be a red flag when it comes time to push a branch
upstream. Such merges need to be carefully thought about and well
justified, or there’s a good chance that a subsequent pull request
will be rejected.'
https://docs.kernel.org/maintainer/rebasing-and-merging.html#merging-from-sibling-or-upstream-trees

But then looking forward in that documentation it says:

'Another reason for doing merges of upstream or another subsystem tree
is to resolve dependencies. These dependency issues do happen at
times, and sometimes a cross-merge with another tree is the best way
to resolve them; as always, in such situations, the merge commit
should explain why the merge has been done. Take a moment to do it
right; people will read those changelogs.'

So I guess that is the reason we want to merge the trees, but what I'm
really looking forward to is for the 'proper' commands and commit
message to use to make sure we don't have problems in the future.
