Thanks; the workflow on my end is pretty straightforward.  "git pull
--rebase" generally does the trick without much fuss or bother.

I still have one patch left on ext4-test:

% git log --oneline master..
8a78b77 ext4/004: limit the amount of data written so test runs faster

but I'm sure that'll get picked up soon enough.

There's a big fat warning on the github page that the branch is
constantly being rewound (ala linux-next) and not something should be
using for anything other than as release point.  So the current
workflow is fairly good from my perspective, and I point people at the
upstream git repo if they want to do any development.
