Hi Ludo,

Thanks for the quick revision.

The macro definitions provided through the command line are equivalent
to adding these definitions to the end of the file, so this wouldn't
make any difference, so I leave it as only =.

Pushed with this change as ef6596a20c to master.

I just tried pushing for the first time since installing the new
pre-push hook that runs `make authenticate`.

This failed with the following error:

Git error: cannot locate remote-tracking branch 'keyring'

However, `git branch --all` includes "remotes/origin/keyring".

After I did `git checkout origin/keyring`, it worked.

Let's update the manual section Commit Access with the recommended way
to make this branch accessible to `make authenticate`. Maybe it should
even do it automatically?
