And also people tend to only submit patches to you which are relatively well tested already and don't really do "raw development" in your tree. But for people lower down the food chain that's not necessarily the case. They usually only get some testing through -mm/linux-next and perhaps occasionally for individual patches posted to verify bugs. They tend to not have many people directly pulling their stuff (and if it's someone it is some downstream developer who typically can deal with an occasional rebase) Anyways if you prefer I can send to you the raw development history (with all reverts, fixups, non bisectable section etc.), but I suspect you wouldn't really be very happy with that. -Andi -- 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/
