I just noticed that the branch you asked Linus to pull includes none
of the patches that Alex sent you in the last batch, in the email with
subject "[PULL 00/56] ppc patch queue 2012-03-15" sent on March 15,
where he asked you to pull git://github.com/agraf/linux-2.6.git
for-upstream.

What happened?  Did they get lost in the re-signing, or is there some
reason you thought they shouldn't go in?

Thanks,
Paul.
