Correct, but usually you would cc any interested parties so that I can
get some feel for when this code might be merged into Linus' tree.

Normally you would cite the git:// URL ..

I have no objection to this, but would like to see more of these patches
reviewed by (among others) the kbuild guys (cc'd).  I also could not find
some of these patches published on lkml (where I would expect to see
them).  And the top patch has a very uninformative commit message :-(
