乙酸鋰 ,
You'll get a quicker response if you submit that as a proper commit
using the git tools and CC Junio Hamano (currently gitster@pobox.com)
as noted in the documentation.  Yes, it's a small change, but let
Junio decide what to just squash in. It is much faster for him to just
pull in the commit than to find what you've noted by hand and fix it
in most cases.
