Please don't do this. It adds to my pain for reviewing patches.
I don't mind (and maybe even like) pulling w/ git from primary driver
authors. But, I would prefer not to add extra layers of git between
me and the patch authors.
Similarly, I would prefer for Ulrich or Daniel to maintain the zd1211rw
git tree unless you (i.e. Michael) are going to be one of the primary
authors going forward.
While I'm complaining :-), I would probably prefer it if you had
adm8211 and p54 in separate git trees (or at least on separate
branches) as well. That way, if there is a problem in a p54 patch
series, I can still pull adm8211 (or vice versa).
It is not my intent to scold (so please don't feel scolded). It just
is counter-productive to prematurely consolidate merging duties.
Thanks,
John
