So instead of saying "sure, lets avoid conflicts next time 
around" you are now *refusing* to take technically perfectly 
fine patches just because another maintainer asked you to use a 
different workflow for future patches? Wow ...

Regardless of the imperfect workflow I certainly find Catalin's 
work useful technically, so I'll send his preparatory commit to 
Linus in this merge window - I hope you will see sense later and 
won't block his subsequent ARM patches...

For the record, that's utter nonsense:

 - *You* failed to reply on the public thread to sort this out
   properly in the Git space, avoiding conflicts naturally:

      http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/16/232

   While generally we don't mind conflicts, I do mind 
   *avoidable* conflicts - and this was such a case.

 - *You* created a conflict by taking a tree that patched some 
   rather old version of the scheduler, shortly before the merge 
   window, when maintainer capacity is the shortest. PeterZ
   is a nice guy who will agree to just about any approach, but 
   I'm quite sure he did not tell you to do *that* ;-)

 - *You* replied to me in a rather dismissive and increasingly
   obnoxious style when I inquired about it constructively:

     http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/13/79

There were several easy solutions - I cannot believe that we are 
still arguing this:

 - it literally took me two minutes to create a proper Git
   solution, it's not rocket science. You could have done it, or
   I could have done it for you (as I have done it).

 - Or you could have replied to the public thread, explaining
   why that is not desirable.

 - Or you could have said "sure thing, lets do it that way next
   time around".

Thanks,

	Ingo
