Hi,

I found a nice way to fix your bug in `function()`. Please find attached a patch from your latest commit ("ae653fb"). You could also fetch the changes directly from my repo at

    git://myrepo.tld/project

As you can see, github's PR make the process easier.
There are commands in git like git-request-pull, or git-mail to make the process simpler. But I've always found good to know how to do it with your bare hands :)
