Please format this differently. I want to use cut-and-paste rather than
re-typing random letter combinations that people use, so please write this
as

Please pull branch 'for-linus' of my trivial tree from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/juhl/trivial.git for-linus

to get these changes:
...

where the important part is that I want the git repo address _and_ the
branch on one line, all by themselves. That way I don't have to pick
things up, I can just cut-and-paste the whole line (triple-click) without
worrying about boundaries or finding branch names somewhere else.

Also, git diffstat output, ie the output from a command something like:

git diff --stat --summary -M origin...

In fact, I think "git request-pull" will basically generate all of this.
