It is entirely valid to respond to a one-shot "My work is published there; could you see if I am doing anything obviously wrong?" with

    git fetch git://k.org/somebody/linux.git check-me-please
    git log ..FETCH_HEAD
    git diff ...FETCH_HEAD

i.e. without touching any of our refs, and possibly in a bare repository, no?
