Ugh indeed.

Due to the delay on git.kernel.org, git request-pull fails.  It *looks*
like it succeeds, except the warning, but (as we learned last time I
screwed up), it doesn't put the branchname because it can't know.

So this time I fixed it manually.  Badly.

For want of a better solution, I'll now resort to sending pull requests
with the anti-social gitolite URL in it, like so:


The following changes since commit a7f2a366f62319dfebf8d4dfe8b211f631c78457:
