Have you tried to increase pull request's fuzz factor with the --fuzz option in
order to achieve the same result?

I never used the rebase model described in the customization section.
Since you know both ways, why did you hub to pull request files?

Nice work. I keep dwm and other suckmore tools as submodules in my
personal configuration repositories with simplistic build and install
scripts. A central location to update all tools is something I'm
missing in my setup.
