I know, but that's not hard to do by hand. Which doesn't, of course, mean I won't screw it up....

But, actually, I tried it just now and it only gave the url:

	The following changes since commit 164b19893ab5bc66b531a26480149a0dff082969:
	  Michael Hendricks (1):
		Document core.excludesfile for git-add

	are found in the git repository at:

		git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/git.git

How's it supposed to figure out the branch name? (And I'm not sure about that "change since commit..." stuff--that seems like slight overkill.)
