No, there was no hidden offence, I only meant what I wrote.

I don't see what you mean. If both the tip tree and the iio tree
contain the same commit (with or without a tag on it), it doesn't matter
who created that and when and in which repo it appeared first. The first
to send it to Linus makes it new for him and all later PRs using it only
introduce the follow-up commits. So if you pull Jonathan's branch you
still can send the branch/tag that contains it whenever you like
independant of when Jonathan sends out his PR.

Best regards
