David, maybe you can talk about how you solved them. I basically tried to send patches on a daily basis. If that failed... then I ended up with this huge diff that I had to pick apart by hand like Alan does when merging -ac bits. Then I started to use bitkeeper, and I didn't have to go through the pain of importing a new set of 2.5.x vanilla changes before a merge. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
