I should have the tree down to 40-some patches by this weeks end. The resultant tree will be unchanged from the current pnfs-submit tree, and the last patch will be all the code that is either unused or has no effect. >> >> >> If you find anything you need to change (like renaming stuff, etc.) >> please just send SQUASHME patches on top of the pnfs-submit branch to keep things in sync. > > OK.
