Shell history shows that I typed

	git push kvm +HEAD:tags/for-linus

(which matches the "git push kvm +HEAD:queue" that I often do, and
therefore can be explained by muscle memory).

The interesting thing is that not only git will treat lightweight tags
like, well, tags: in addition, because I _locally_ had a tag object that
pointed to the same commit and had the same name, git-request-pull
included my local tag's message in its output!  I wonder if this could
be considered a bug.

I have now pushed the actual tag object to the same place.
