Oh, oops, I wanted to send that to the list too, thanks for forwarding it.

And it looks like there's an origin branch in the repo now.  This
happens when you just say

  git push

to push changes instead of

  git push origin

well... AFAIK, anyway. The 'origin' branch is a branch that gets
created when you clone a repo and it's always identical to the
'master' branch in the repo you clone from.  Pushing the 'origin'
branch is a common pitfall, and I believe it's a behaviour that has
been fixed in recent git version.  It's pretty harmless, but somebody
with access to the upstream repo (which why I'm cc'ing Keith and
Daniel) need to remove the branch there.

Another common mistake with the git commit message format.  There is a
convention that the first line in the commit message should be a
single short summary, optionally followed by a blank line and then a
more detailed description if you're so inclined:
