Samuel,

Linus has just pulled from trivial.git, so could you please make sure this
is taken care of (*) in your next pull request? Thanks a lot!

(*) either by resolving the conflict in your tree first, or mentioning it
explicitly in your pull request to Linus.

Thanks for the heads up.
I usually fix the merge conflicts in a specific branch for-next-merge and
give the URL to Linus, in case he needs it.

Cheers,
Samuel.
