Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches and follow it. The
above is most likely to be the cover letter of a two-patch series
(meaning you will be sending three pieces of e-mail messages), or
perhaps out of band comment below the three-dash line of a single
patch (you will send only one piece of e-mail message).
See recent patches on the list from list regulars for good examples,
e.g.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/218350

The number 5500 is already taken. Please do not add a duplicate.
I also wonder if we need to waste a new test number for this;
perhaps adding new tests to 5516 that already tests insteadOf might
be a better fit, but I didn't carefully read it.

Test scripts are supposed to be executable.

Are both expected to succeed in patch 1/2 without any code change?
If you were doing a large code change, it is a good series structure
to have tests first that are marked as "expect_failure" in an early
patch, and then in a later patch that changes the code to fix it,
update the tests that start to pass to "expect_success".
I personally do not think you need such a two-step approach for
something small like this; instead you can just have a single patch
that adds a set of tests that expect success and code change.
Thanks.
