I think that it was too big personally but it was still only 235 commits: commit 0e2f7b837600979d5b6f174a6ff695b85942e985 Merge: f58df54 032fec3 Author: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri Dec 11 15:25:56 2009 -0800 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6 * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6: (235 commits) 1815 networking commits means almost 8x more and while LOC amount for staging is much higher, networking changes affect 2x more files. -- Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
