For example right now as it looks the kmemcheck tree says: commit 385e31b9eae0528bada07d16a189f3f40df23961 Author: Vegard Nossum Date: Fri Apr 4 00:51:41 2008 +0200 kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core i had to look around for a few minutes to make sure i got the right branch until i realized that "Apr 4" is not the correct date - this commit got updated by you just today. it would be much better if you stopped rebasing kmemcheck from now on, and did append-only updates only - that way i could pick up your updates into tip/kmemcheck by doing pulls. It does not matter if the result looks a bit messier - most of the fundamentals should be in place already. Ingo
