That is correct, we generally try to avoid duplicating commits but instead use branches that are based on a common history containing whatever is needed in multiple places. Note that the patch I applied does not duplicate the ones that went into the other trees, it recreates dummy header files instead and needs to be reverted at some point in the future when everything has been merged.
