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.

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
