I did forget to push, sorry about that, now pushed.

As for why git-request-pull didn't warn.  I used this commandline:
git request-pull v4.10-rc6 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git dm-4.10-fixes | tee dm-4.10-fixes-pull.txt

I just did a test with a local dm-4.10-test tag that I didn't push and
sure enough I _do_ get a warning.  But that warning went to stderr and
I just missed it.  I'll improve my workflow to check the error code of
the git-request-pull first. And then re-run to output to a text file.

Right, just missed the push, I always do signed tags.

Thanks,
