That means that (assuming my fix is correct), I will continue to apply
that fix until your trees are merged into Linus' tree.  (git rerere is my
friend :-))

No, Linus will figure it out just as I did.  If you want to give him a
hint, that 's fine.  The main intention of my "I fixed it up and can
carry the fix as necessary (no action is required)" is to just get you
guys to check that what I did was correct, and to dissuade you from
merging/rebasing/rewriting your tree(s) to eliminate the conflict.
