ext4 developers should create a git tree with the consensus-accepted 
patches.

That way Linus can pull as soon as the merge window opens, Andrew is 
guaranteed to have the latest in his -mm tree, and users and other 
kernel hackers can easily follow the development without having to 
gather scattered patches from lkml.
