BTW, since I've been doing a lot of work on the patch queue, including
recently rebasing off of 2.6.27-git5 so I could pick up the blkdev
discard patches, I've been maintaining the ext4-stable branch in the
ext4 git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git

It contains all of the patches that have gone upstream to Linus,
against the baseline 2.6.27 kernel.  We still need to cherry-pick the
most critical bugs fixes in that branch to submit to the -stable
kernel series....
