Well, I see that James has pulled your tree, so past problems are now
moot. He has some duplicate commits in his tree now and Linus will get
a few more when he next pulls James' tree.  We just need to avoid this
going forward.  And given that James or Serge will, from now on, *pull*
your tree (not cherry-pick from it), things should be fine.
