Please, re-read Documentation/SubmittingPatches. In short, don't inline
patch headers and don't forget the sign-off.

Keep the subject line short (ideally <50 characters), and avoid past
tense. We usually use imperative (the patch asks the codebase to
refactor itself => "simplify if statements ...". We usually prefix the
subject line with the place/subsystem where the change is done =>
"branch.c: simplify if ...".

Is it me, or is (origin || !origin) a tautology?
