I'm going to assume this is a plea for help?
Quoting from linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches.txt
16) Sending "git pull" requests (from Linus emails)
Please write the git repo address and branch name alone on the same line
so that I can't even by mistake pull from the wrong branch, and so that
a triple-click just selects the whole thing.
So the proper format is something along the lines of:
"Please pull from
git://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/jdelvare-2.6 i2c-for-linus
to get these changes:"
so that I don't have to hunt-and-peck for the address and inevitably
get it wrong (actually, I've only gotten it wrong a few times, and
checking against the diffstat tells me when I get it wrong, but I'm
just a lot more comfortable when I don't have to "look for" the right
thing to pull, and double-check that I have the right branch-name).
Please use "git diff -M --stat --summary" to generate the diffstat:
the -M enables rename detection, and the summary enables a summary of
new/deleted or renamed files.
With rename detection, the statistics are rather different because
git will notice that a fair number of the changes are renames.
So there you go.
