Hi Kangjie,

Please change the patch description to the imperative mood (see also
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/tree/Documentation/SubmittingPatches).
A good way to invite feedback is to add a relevant Cc-list to a patch.
The output of scripts/get_maintainer.pl can be a good start.

Bart.
