The slight problem is that I accumulate updates (like almost everyone
else) from the few days before the merge window opened up until about
the middle of the second week. That's what goes into the final pull,
plus assorted bug fixes that showed up during the window.

You appear to being using git as a sort of baroque CVS. Fixes that
arrive after the beginning of the merge window should be put into a
separate branch other than the one ready for submission. Features that
arrive after the beginning of the merge window should be placed into
yet another branch destined for the next merge window.

Ray,
I'm sure that James will appreciate your insightful
advice. And Alan Cox is probably waiting for your
thoughts on the design of serial device drivers.

Amazing that after yet another Linus rant, people
crawl out of the woodwork to attack the victim.
