	GIT_NAMESPACE),
somewhere in the description.
Please sign-off your patch (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

I'm sorry, I just copied this text "as is" (I'm lazy) in the commit message failing to notice the use of the tab character.

When I checked the patch email message, my editor rendered the tab character as a single space...

That's the reason why I have all my editors configured to never ever use tabs.
