Michael, I assume you'll take care of this.  If I were applying, I
would capitalize the commit subjects and fix the typos in the commit
logs, e.g.,

  s/the this/the/
  s/the the/that the/
  s/short coming/shortcoming/
  s/seperate/separate/
  s/bid endian/big endian/
  s/were appropriate/where appropriate/
  s/name form/name from/

etc.  git am also complains about space before tab whitespace errors.
And it adds a few lines >80 chars.
