Not quite, I had pushed a new signed tag but I hadn't deleted the old for-linus branch (which you had merged). Since git prefers branches to tags when pulling it was looking at the old branch and ignoring the signed tag. Should be cleaned up now, at least I deleted the branch and everything looks OK in gitweb. I actually noticed this with some other things I was doing, what I think I want git to do when working with signed tags is allow me to have a tag with the same name as the branch and prefer the tag rather than the branch. That way I can tell people to pull from a given name and it'll do the right thing if they're using a git that understands pulling from tags or not. Either that or complain bitterly and mock me if I'm so foolish as to have a tag and branch with the same name.
