Hello Luke, and welcome to the community :)

It shows. The patch is whitespace damaged, and the commit message leaves
a little something to desire. I suggest you read through
Documentation/SubmittingPatches and then re-send your patch. Try sending
to yourself and looking at the result with a monospace font. It's what I
always do to make sure patches look okay before sending them to the list.

Not trying to be rude or anything. Oldtime list-members sometimes get to
hear the exact same thing.

Also, Junio, the maintainer, is currently away, so don't worry if your
patches are left in limbo for some time. Someone will pick it up and
carry it forward for Junio to pull, or he'll hack up some script to
get all patces from his mailbox and review them one by one. He's a very
thorough fellow, usually.

Sweet job :)

I'll have to test this, as we've got a few repos at work with a checked out
working tree connected to the repos. I haven't run into your issues though,
but perhaps that's because we run it under Linux.
