Why in the world should I?  There are no conflicts to resolve
that I know of.

And if there are no conflicts to resolve, pulling in Linus's
tree just makes future pulls into his tree more ugly.

This is pretty standard practice, but in any event you shouldn't ever
care.

You should simply always work against net-2.6, there is no reason to
work against any other tree.

This is a pretty fundamental thing, I don't know why you based against
Linus's tree instead of net-2.6.  Now you have to rebase already :-/
