nitpick:
Oliver, please don't forget to add your S-o-b if you are pushing commits
to the tree.

Yes. I noticed myself, that i need to improve this process by reading more git
documentation ;-)

Yesterday i just cherry-picked the patch and pushed it to the repo.

The next time i'll do it the right(TM) way :-)

Oliver or Marc,

just out of curiosity,
what would be the right(TM) way?

3 possibilities:

1) merge your tree:
(if it only contains the patch we want)

git checkout master
git merge tree-of-kvd/branch-name
git push origin master

2) cherry pick

git checkout master
git cherry-pick -s commitish-of-patch  # -s automatically adds the S-o-b
git push origin master

3) apply patch

git checkout master
git am -s /path/to/patch               # -s automatically adds the S-o-b
git push origin master


For solution 1 and 2 you need Kurt's tree in your local repo (git remote
add).
