Ok, so I pulled the tags, but only because I noticed that you mentioned it.

It would have been much more convenient if you had just named the tag
in the pull request directly, so that it would have said

and then my normal "cut-and-paste the pull request line" JustWorks(tm).

Of course, since you use those ugly tag names, I then end up editing
the first line so that the shortlog doesn't fill up with random crud,
so I'd actually prefer for the tag-name to not have that silly date in
it. The tag itself is dated, so the date information actually does
exist inside of it - and if I pull the signed tag, it will then exist
hidden in the merge too (and can be shown using the new "git show
--show-signature" thing):

      Merge tag 'devicetree-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6

      devicetree/next changes queued for v3.3 merge window

      * tag 'devicetree-for-linus-20120104' of
git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6:
        ARM: prom.h: Fix build error by removing unneeded header file
        irq: check domain hwirq range for DT translate
        dt: add empty of_get_node/of_put_node functions
        of/pdt: fix section mismatch warning
  ...

so for a *really* nice pull request, I'd actually have preferred the
tag to just be named "devicetree-for-linus" (and the next time you
send me a pull request, you just overwrite it - use the "-f" flag for
git tag to say that you want to force the overwrite).
