Please don't hide the branch name in the free-flowing text, and instead
write your "please pull" messages like this:

Please pull the upstream branch from

git://git.infradead.org/~dedekind/ubi-2.6.git upstream

so that I don't miss the right branch-name even by mistake.

I try to be careful, and I think I missed the branch-name just once (and
noticed it when the diffstat didn't match), but this is something I want

make mistakes, by always keeping the whole git information together, and
never mixed up with any free-flowing explanation.

Linus
