You can rebase your commits and edit the descriptions - Something
like:

git rebase -i master (or the git rev you started from if you did it in
the same branch)
change all the lines to edit
run git commit -s --amend; git rebase --continue until you're done.

Normally you shouldn't rebase something that you have pushed, but OK
..

But the Linux.advanced stuff doesn't have anything to do with kernel
headers, right?

I would think it would be easier to leave master alone so you easily
pull new changes in the main repo and rebase your commits on it.

Ok. git am is easy - Simply save the mail and run git am -s <file>

 Thiago> Btw, how does one get those nice summaries like this ?
 Thiago> http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/4/40

with git shortlog. E.G. to see the log since the previous release you
would do:

git shortlog 2009.02...

For sending a git pull request you can use git request-pull, E.G. if
you do your work in a 'upstream' branch you could do:

git request-pull master git://git.buildroot.net/~correa/git/buildroot.git

Which would spit out something like (well, different - but same format):
