Good tip! I wrote the above commands based on my own submit script, that were written before
this command being added on -git ;)

I've updated the procedure to reflect this change.

In order to be easier for people to view the new version, I've added it at our wiki:
	http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Maintaining_Git_trees

I did one or two cosmetic changes there also, and I added an useful information on how to submit
a fix patch that should also be applied at -stable.

For those that are sending contributions, I ask to not directly update the wiki (except if the
changes are cosmetic only) but send first an email about the proposed changes at this thread,
to allow a better review of the proposed changes.

Cheers,
Mauro
