I think you're completely wrapped up in the "git" way of thinking about things. The patch can't be "dropped". It can't be "reverted". It can't be "removed". All that Linus can do is apply a reversed patch. Then Greg can sync up however he does it. You seem completely wrapped up in some misguided notion that the patch can be dropped from some series of patches. This isn't OpenWRT - you don't have a directory of a hundred-odd patches. It's a source revision system, complete with history. You don't remove a patch from an existing repository - you commit a fix. That may be a reversed version of the actual commit - but the effect is the same, the change is "reverted". It just isn't removed from the history. I think this is done and dusted. :-) Adrian
