Hm? I do that whenever you pull from me -- I'll pull the merge commit into my own tree. So the mtd-2.6.git tree you pulled last night, for example, was based on some "random daily thing" half-way between 2.6.35 and 2.6.26-rc1, which happened to be entitled 'Merge git://...mtd-2.6'. I try to avoid having to *merge* such a thing, but it certainly does end up in linux-next as the *base* for maintainers' tree. It's difficult to see how that could be avoided. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@...el.com Intel Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
