Dear Stephen Warren,

I believe that's (part of) why Linux is tending towards pull requests of a (signed) tag rather than a branch, since the tag always points at a specific commit, and incremental pull requests can just create a new tag name. Of course, the ability to sign tags also also a motivator.
I tend to disagree here. Tags can easily be removed. As such, they are in no way different from or better than a specific commit in a branch that does not get rebased.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
