Yes, that helps.

I also wonder if it would make sense to change

	Merge branch 'mm/push-default-switch-warning' into pu

	... description ...

	By Matthieu Moy
	* mm/push-default-switch-warning:
	  push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

to

	Merge branch 'mm/push-default-switch-warning' into pu

	... description ...

	* 'mm/push-default-switch-warning' by Matthieu Moy:
	  push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

which makes the author less distractingly prominent (since they will
be right there in the log soon later once we hit the commits
themselves) and makes the start of the list of commits easier to find
by eye.  This is what I was inarticulately hinting at in my message
before.  With two authors it still looks reasonable:

	* 'jc/pickaxe-ignore-case' by Junio C Hamano (2) and Ramsay Jones (1):
	  ctype.c: Fix a sparse warning
	  pickaxe: allow -i to search in patch case-insensitively
	  grep: use static trans-case table

If this seems worth a patch, I'd be glad to try it (and even gladder
to learn that someone else already tried it).
