Sure.  But if I got a pull request saying "please pull
git://example.org/foo.git HEAD" I would think that the sender
messed up the pull request.  So *in the context of git-request-pull*
${remote:-HEAD} makes little sense to me.

But hey, you said it's me who makes no sense.  Maybe I really don't.

Oki.  Will adjust my scripts.  Junio, you may still want to apply patch
1 if only for documentation purposes (the "tag foo" functionality is
unused in the rest of the test).
