If you're missing something, maybe look for it in the omap-2.6.31 branch.
Like I mentioned, I reset everything to mainline v2.6.32-rc1 with this:

$ git checkout -b omap-reset
$ git reset --hard v2.6.32-rc1
$ git merge -s ours master
$ git checkout master
$ git merge omap-reset

And after that I merged in omap-fixes, echi, cbus and the omap7xx
branches.

So basically we're now seeing the mainline history. All the history is
there, but may not be visible unless you check out some earlier branch.

I could not do git reset --hard v2.6.32-rc1 as the linux-omap tree would
not stay pullable that way. And there's no git merge -s theirs any longer
in git, so that's why the trickery above :)

Hopefully this explains what you're seeing!

Tony
