request-pull: resurrect for-linus -> tags/for-linus DWIM

Older versions of Git before v1.7.10 did not DWIM

    $ git pull $URL for-linus

to the tag "tags/for-linus" and the users were required to say

    $ git pull $URL tags/for-linus

instead.  Because newer versions of Git works either way,
request-pull used to show tags/for-linus when asked

    $ git request-pull origin/master $URL for-linus

The recent updates broke this and in the output we see "for-linus"
without the "tags/" prefix.

As v1.7.10 is more than 2 years old, this should matter very little
in practice, but resurrecting it is very simple.
