I've been wondering if git can do something to avoid things like this.

For example, if you push into a particular branch of a particular
repository _only_ to ask Linus to pull and for no other purpose, one
possible solution may be to trigger a hook on the receiving end of your
push (i.e. the public repository Linus is asked to pull from) to send out
the "Please pull from" message (I presume this would be a no-go as there
is not much room for you to customize the message).

Alternatively, we may want to give an option to git-request-pull to
actually run "git push" to the destination.

Thoughts?  Is it "none of Git's business"?
