Subject: linux-next: please don't start adding v3.21 stuff yet

Hi Jiri,

From my daily release notes:

"Please do not add any material destined for v3.21 to your linux-next
included trees until after v3.20-rc1 has been released."

Commit 38e0e413ca1d ("Merge branch 'for-3.21/logitech' into for-next"),
commit e0ab74fe569d ("Merge branch 'for-3.21/rmi' into for-next"),
commit ee2de8fc6c18 ("Merge branch 'for-3.21/genius' into for-next")
(though this last contains what looks like a fix).

:-(

Also, at some point you might want to reset your tree to Linus' to get
rid of all those (now useless) old merge commits.

Gah, sorry for that, I always forget to switch off my automated script
machinery during merge window.

Hmm, I am really not a big fan of rebasing public tree. People are
actually pulling the for-next branch and working on top of it.

Those merge commits are always only in for-next, the branch that gets
created for Linus before merge (by merging all the topic branches at once)
is not polluted by them.
