attempt to create pull request in my own fork for fast-forward

Some sources such as http://www.hpique.com/2013/09/updating-a-fork-directly-from-github/ suggest this procedure works for fast-forwarding a fork to sync with its upstream. Others have commented that it didn't work, worked once, and/or created a pull request on the upstream project instead of where intended.

I don't think I'll know until I push this button, so if this makes a pull request in the wrong place, please accept my apologies.
