Hey, we give you the power. Actually realizing it all and getting used to
it may take some time. In the meantime, you can use the pre-canned helper
functions and just cut-and-paste from emails ;)
One of the 133 git commands is actually "git request-pull" that does this
all for you. I always forget it, because I don't use it myself, and quite
frankly, it's just a shell-script helper to do this all for you. But if
you're into that kind of thing, you can actually read that shell-script
(and others) and learn more that way ;)
