At the kernel summit we talked about no more git merges after the initial devel period, and I'm wondering if that really is the policy. As a concrete example, suppose I have a git tree with something like drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_qp.c | 2 +- drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_main.c | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) ie a couple of really small, simple fixes. Emailing those to Andrew as patches is fine by me, but it seems like it creates extra work for Andrew and you. So is email via Andrew what you want, or are "bugfix only" git pulls OK?
