Yeah, but you didn't label the other series as "for 2.6.30".  To makes
matter worse, the fact that patch #2 in what I think is your 2.6.30
patch series (the V4 series?) is the same as patch #1 of your 2.6.31
series, and your "2.6.31" series doesn't have a patch backing out the
2.6.30 changes (I assume you need to do that, right?), left me as a
very confused maintainer about. 

OK, so what I have in the patch queue is the V4 version, somewhat
modified, and I'll ignore the "for 2.6.31" patches for now.  When
you're ready, please send me patches versus the end of the stable
series of the ext4 patch queue, and please give me this kind of
context.

If you could verify what's in the patch queue, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
