Oh, well. I think it's the tag rather than the signed bit.
I'm not entirely sure who to blame. The error message is:
% git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git asoc-3.3-20120124 fatal: Couldn't find remote ref asoc-3.3-20120124
That's the tagging - older (and by older I mean "currently released") versions of git can only pull from branches so that's just saying it can't find the tag object.
It seems that the problem is rather in the server side. I updated the git to version 1.7.9.rc2, but it still gives the same error at pull. Meanwhile, I could pull a signed tag from a local tree. Or I'm overlooking something obvious.
BTW, the pull of a signed tag gives always a merge commit even if it can be fast-forwarded. The --ff option doesn't work, too. This is the intended behavior, AFAIK.
OTOH, we don't want to see too many merge commits in a straight development line while the development phase. So, pulling signed tags from you while development might be not always ideal, if we want to keep the sound git trees better in sync.
