This is harder than going upstream <g>...

I think I'm doing the same thing greg kh did here, only he
figured it out (and didn't say how he did it right)...

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/1/293

I made a tag, and...

$ git request-pull for-next
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux.git
ofs-pull-tag-1
The following changes since commit 45996492e5c85aa0ac93a95d1b2d1ed56851c865:

  orangefs: fix orangefs_superblock locking (2016-03-26 07:22:00 -0400)

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux.git

for you to fetch changes up to 45996492e5c85aa0ac93a95d1b2d1ed56851c865:

  orangefs: fix orangefs_superblock locking (2016-03-26 07:22:00 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Orangefs: pull-tag-1

----------------------------------------------------------------

I think that when I made my tag I should have specified some particular
commit, instead of just:  "git tag -a ofs-pull-tag-1" ...
but which commit should I have specified, surely not 001bf455d?
