Something like this:

    Please fetch from

    git://vlinder.landheer-cieslak.com/git/git.git topic/git-log-changelog

If one uses git-fetch the result will be in FETCH_HEAD, a pull will
merge it nicely with the commit message like:

    "Merge branch 'topic/git-log-changelog' of git://vlinder.landheer-cieslak.com/git/git"

which fits, I believe.
