From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> In some cases, git request-pull might be invoked with remote and local objects that differ even though they point to the same commit. For example, the remote object might be a lightweight tag vs. an annotated tag on the local side, or the user might have reworded the tag locally and forgotten to push it. When this happens git-request-pull will not warn, because it only checks that "git ls-remote" returns an SHA1 that matches the local commit. Patch 2 of this series makes git-request-pull remember the tag object's SHA1 while processing the "git ls-remote" output, so that it can be matched against the local object.
