No. Branch. Why would you have a public branch called "for-linus", when you intend to tag the end result before sending it to me?
It would make much more sense if you just did your development in your "master" branch, perhaps with a separate branch for fixes during stabilization (so that you don't mix up fixes with your future development. Call it "fixes" or "stable" or whatever. No "for-linus" branches anywhere. After all, the branch isn't for me at all. It's for me only once you're ready. And at that point you tag it, so having a *tag* called for-linus makes sense and gives us the nice signing etc.
Hmm?
Linus
