Subject: Theodore Ts'o: please consider dis-ambiguity

Theodore:
please consider delete that tag "origin" in the ext4.git repo:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git

as a common case, I cloned a local repo from torvalds/linux-2.6.git
and fetched from tytso/ext4.git,

and when I want to gen patches, I do "git format-patch origin",
hundreds of patches generated,
but in fact I only have several patches.

then I realized there are ambiguities about the name "origin",

$ git rev-parse origin
warning: refname 'origin' is ambiguous.

Oopts, sorry about that. Yeah, I should make sure that origin is
properly set up as a branch, not as a tag.
