Gah, sorry for that, I always forget to switch off my automated script

Hmm, I am really not a big fan of rebasing public tree. People are 
actually pulling the for-next branch and working on top of it.

Those merge commits are always only in for-next, the branch that gets 
created for Linus before merge (by merging all the topic branches at once) 
is not polluted by them.
