2.6.18 is out, so I feel the urge to revive a dead topic. :) Any idea when we might get my ancient trivials included in the new gits? I'm still lurking around and ready to do more pointless doc-checking tasks, but I really want the old stuff merged so I can rebase around it.

Oh, and cheers to everyone on another great kernel release!

During the 2 weeks until 2.6.19-rc1.

It wouldn't be good if I'd forward all the trivial patches today
probably breaking the context for pending merges.

Alright, good to know. If I may suggest:

99% of my changes are to text Docs, not source. I don't believe we would be risking code breakage as a result of merging them. In this case of course I don't expect you to root through the trivial box and pull out my patches, but maybe this isn't the best way for me to submit them in the first place? It seems like a particularly small and unnecessary window for somebody to update text files in. Is there a different tree or maintainer that would be better suited for this type of thing?

Thanks again.

I'm not talking about breaking code, I'm talking about breaking
_patch context_.

I have no problem with you sending your patches through subsystem
maintainers or Andrew.
