You literally merged four times in two days. That's > not "keeping reasonably up-to-date", that's just messy and OCD. Have a look at my networking tree if you want to see an example of how to handle things Thomas. I think I merged from Linus's tree only 3 or 4 times maximum since I created that tree way back when the 2.6.26 merge window opened up. If users, or even you, want to get a bug fix from Linus's tree or check if there will be merge conflicts, just create a test branch and play with such things there. The topic branch or topic tree should just keep developing, essentially living in it's own world oblivious to what is going on upstream. And it should stay this way until an unavoidable merge conflict needs to be resolved or things become uncomfortably out of sync. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
