Please pull the (new) Trivial tree

Please pull the (new) Trivial tree

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi Linus,

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

This is the (new) trivial tree.

I took over Trivial maintainership from Adrian Bunk and this is my
very first pull request as maintainer, so please let me know if I've
done anything wrong.

I know you have better things to do than look through trivial patches
(that's my job now), but since this is the very first tree I've
created I would ask you to please take the time to look it over
carefully. I cloned your tip-of-tree and then applied all the patches
I had filtered out to a 'for-linus' branch. I plan to then merge those
patches back from you into my 'master' branch once you've pulled, then
ditch my 'for-linus' branch and create a new one with new patches once
the next merge window opens - if that's not the right way to go about
it, please let me know.

To the various other tree maintainers; if there are patches in this
tree that I should not have merged and then told Linus to pull, but
should instead have sent to you, please tell me so I can do a better
job next time. I want to develop a good working relationship with
other maintainers, but I'm new at this and don't know exactely what to
do, so I've tried my best and hope it's good enough - but if not, I
want to be told so I can learn and do better in the future.

I've tried to not add patches that were already merged elsewhere as
well as patches that didn't really qualify as trivial. I hope I
succeeded.

Any and all comments on the tree I created, the patches in it etc are
more than welcome.

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.

Understood. I'll use that format in the future. Thank you.

Makes sense. Will do.

Ok, I'll be sure to include that going forward.
Here it is for this pull request ('git diff --stat --summary -M
