Seems correct.

FYI, on my native language (Indonesian), we say "Review yourself" as
"Tinjau dirimu" for imperative mood. Unfortunately many imperative
sentences on software l10n instead prefix the verb with "me-", such as
"meninjau dirimu". That is not imperative mood; that is descriptive
mood with infinitive verb form.

Anyway, thanks.

Unlike many other helper functions in this file, this one is likely
to survive when the remainder of "git submodule" scripted Porcelain
is rewritten in C, so it is a good idea to update it with this
patch.

Thanks, will queue.
