A minor thing.
Commit 76ecb4f2d7ea5c3aac8970b9529775316507c6d2 is displayed thusly:
  commit 76ecb4f2d7ea5c3aac8970b9529775316507c6d2
  Author: Zhang, Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
  Date:   Thu Apr 10 16:20:23 2008 +0800
      ACPI: update thermal temperature

but that isn't a valid email address. Because it contains a comma it must be quoted: "Zhang, Rui".

I assume that something in the git toolchain removed his quotes, and that was arguably incorrect.

Next: Linus Torvalds
