Thanks!

BTW... "-" for both "patch is junk" and "patch is now mainline" is quite
confusing. Could we get you to use "-" for "patch was dropped because
it is junk" and "*" (or something) for "patch is now mainline"?

maybe:

-[short reason]patchname.patch

Examples
-[upstream]patchname.patch for mainline or subsytem tree
-[junk]patchname.patch
-[update]patchname.patch for 'updated version will be merged'

Or, if you started to track how things got upstream, then you could easily
let people know where to go looking for it.

-[mainline]
-[x86]
-[gregkh]

Just a thought.
