1. Looking at your address in the From field of this message there is
"Xu, Anhua", so I am not sure which is your first name.
If it is Anhua, please do the following.
git config --global author.name "Anhua Xu"

1. There is a typo: in*t*roduced. The spell checker of your email
program should mention that. Or you hook up Git to check that [1][2][3].

2. Please do not just mention the hash of the commit but also the
summary. Only a few people have memorized all hashes. ;-)
commit 1519b9956eb4b4180fa3f47c73341463cdcfaa37
Author: Keith Packard <keithp at keithp.com>

drm/i915: Fix PCH port pipe select in CPT disable paths
You can use `git commit --amend --author="Anhua Xu" to edit the last
commit.
3. To include the patch you seem to copy the output of `git log` or `git
show`. The recommended way is to use `git format-patch -s -1`. This way
the commit message is indented correctly.
4. Your first message of this thread included a HTML part. Luckily your
reply did not which suggests that your mail program supports writing
just plain text messages. In the future it would be great if you could
write just plain text messages which is the recommended way for mailing
lists [4].
Thanks,
Paul
