Subject: Linux 2.6.28-rc1

It's been two weeks, so it's time to close the merge window. A 2.6.28-rc1 
is out there, and it's hopefully all good.

The changes in -rc1 are (as usual) too many to really enumerate, with the 
bulk of them being - again as usual - drivers. In fact, that's doubly true 
now that we merged the drivers from the staging tree. The dirstat output 
makes that very obvious:

   3.3% arch/arm/
  14.2% arch/
   3.1% crypto/
   4.0% drivers/media/
   3.7% drivers/net/wireless/
  10.3% drivers/net/
   6.5% drivers/staging/me4000/
   8.5% drivers/staging/slicoss/
   4.8% drivers/staging/wlan-ng/
  29.7% drivers/staging/
  63.6% drivers/
   3.3% include/
   4.6% net/
   4.6% sound/

but some other statistics may be fun: 

 - 7141 non-merge commits (and 419 merges)

 - average non-merge commit:
	39 lines removed, 104 lines added
   (not counting renames)

 - About 880 individual authors
	- 340 of which had just one commit
	- while 183 authors had ten or more commits

 - Most screwed-up clock award goes to:

	Greg Kroah-Hartman

   for his commit 51b90540, which claims to be from April 9 - six years 
   ago! And it's a fix to a driver that was merged this July!

Way to go, Greg!

Anyway, have fun, please test it, and report any intersting anomalies you 
find.
