Okay, so I need guidance on the proper behaviour here. As this

didn't use the magic wording for the commit-id (as generated by
git-request-pull), we ended up trying to look up the remote. The remote
specified was:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/evalenti/linux-soc-thermal fixes
Since it's a short refname, we first try to look it up as a tag:
No, you don't do even that.
The name is "fixes". But you seem to match it with one of these:
$ git ls-remote git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/evalenti/linux-soc-thermal fixes^{}
a6d25f4c951b8b28f2eaec6f891ff834622532f2 refs/tags/omap-for-v3.10-rc1/fixes^{}
77319669af37a1cfc844b801e83343b37e3c7e13 refs/tags/omap/fixes^{}
*NEITHER* of which is a tag named "fixes". One is named
"omap-for-v3.10-rc1/fixes" and the other is a tag named "omap/fixes".
Linus:
Thank you for the feedback. I've implemented a fix that handles
shortname refs more properly in order to avoid hitting this problem
again.
