乙酸鋰 , You'll get a quicker response if you submit that as a proper commit using the git tools and CC Junio Hamano (currently gitster@pobox.com) as noted in the documentation. Yes, it's a small change, but let Junio decide what to just squash in. It is much faster for him to just pull in the commit than to find what you've noted by hand and fix it in most cases.
