Yes, that worked, thanks. There are newer versions of git out there,
you should be using the 1.8 version by now. You can always just use the
git git tree and install to your local directory, which is what is
recommended for kernel developers, to ensure we have the latest version.

Next time can you provide a bit more information here? I really don't
care what the tree is based on (hint, git request-pull just told me that
above). See other merges in the kernel tree for examples of good pull
request messages as examples.

Now pulled and pushed out, thanks.
