When the cover lives in a commit, which is the default cover strategy, reroll() builds the sent tag out of a scratch worktree: sparse checkout, cherry-pick the series onto the base, fetch the result back. That checkout is the one fixed in git_fetch_am_into_repo() and it dies the same way with submodule.recurse=true. Nothing tells the user. The whole block sits under a try that logs "Error tagging the revision" and carries on, so b4 send finishes normally and the sent tag for the revision is simply never created. The cherry-pick keeps the user's signing config. Its commits are what the tag points at, so they outlive the worktree.
