So I think you would want something like this:

    git tag -s for-linus kvm-next
    git push <url> kvm-next:next tags/for-linus
    git request-pull origin/master <url> for-linus

in the post 2.0 world with 024d34cb (request-pull: more strictly
match local/remote branches, 2014-01-22)?

Sorry, I was asking what you mean by "complains" (i.e. the exact
error message).  I was and am guessing it is something like this: 

    warn: No match for commit 3188ab3... found at <url>
    warn: Are you sure you pushed 'HEAD' there?

Asking to pull 'HEAD' may be often a wrong thing to do, and I
wouldn't mind if this sequence:

	git checkout kvm-next
        git request-pull origin/master <url>

behaved the same way as

        git request-pull origin/master <url> kvm-next

But I do not know if the implicit HEAD should DWIM locally to this:

        git request-pull origin/master <url> for-linus

Not really.  I am focusing mostly on not breaking what 024d34cb0 and
dc2eacc58c fixed earlier.
