Before submitting your pull request, please add tests which verify your change. There have been many developers involved in the git plugin and there are many users who depend on the git plugin. Tests help us assure that we're delivering a reliable plugin, and that we've communicated our intent to other developers in a way that they can detect when they run tests.
