Ok, so this is just strange.

I do not generally pull the random SHA1's directly, I want a branch
name or a tag-name.

(Honesty in advertising: I *have* pulled the direct SHA name in the
past, simply because I didn't want to pull a whole branch. But then I
edit up the end result to have a sensible name, because I want one).

So I don't take pull requests that don't have sane branch or tag
names. Because that's just odd.

Please fix up you repository. Or ratrher, please fix your pull
request. Because what I think I actually want to pull is

tags/pci-v4.11-changes

which is the signed tag that you have that actually points to that
commit. But you use some completely broken request-pull script that
screwed everything up.

Please just burn that piece of crap code on the altar to the goddess
of good taste.
