I am not a kernel developer, but I think the way this particular pull request is worded can be made much more friendly to Cogito users (that probably is the rest of the world except you, me and Linus ;-). They use URL fragment notation to express the branch head, like this: rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git#new-ids At least for me, eyes always skip to the "rsync://..." part immediately after seeing "Please pull.." part. For Linus I am willing to volunteer updating git-pull-script to take the same URL fragment notation, but as Jeff correctly pointed out it already takes the "branch" name as its second parameter so it probably would not be necessary. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
