Yes, I see your point: the mainline tree's URL is superfluous.

Ok -- I hadn't fully considered the ramifications of the fact that the
commit message would be around long after the state of the omap-l1
tree had changed. I agree that this URL would be a note below the
'---', if included at all.

Neat. I'll keep that one in mind too, but not for external commits --
you have convinced me that it is not useful to include these in he
commit message.
