Sorry, I was on vacation last week and I've been catching up on things
this week.  I've reset the master branch on my fscrypt.git tree so
that it has what you have on your fscrypt branch, rebased to 5.0-rc3.

Also, as we had talked about earlier, it probably makes sense to set
up jointly maintained git tree for fscrypt and fsverity.  My proposal
is that we set up a new fscrypt.git tree, at
/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt.git, that would be owned by the "FSCRYPT
group", with group membership being ebiggers, jaeguk, and tytso.
We'll have to figure out ways that we can jointly update the git tree
without stepping on each other, probably using a group chat.  Does
that sound good to you?
