Let me postulate that people like to get cover letters with the
git:// URL so they can fetch+look at it, a diffstat and shortlog.
And 'lo, that is exactly what git-request-pull thankfully generates.
In my defense: Just because the command is called request-pull,
does not mean you absolutely have to merge/pull it. In fact, it does
not even mention merge/pull at all.
The following changes since commit [SHA]:

are available in the git repository at:
git://[...]
for you to fetch changes up to [SHA]:

In contrast to many a LKML postings which explicitly state the pull

Hi [Maintainer],
Please pull from the git repository at

to receive [...]
