We need to work out how we're going to manage to get our git changes to
you.  At the moment, I've very little idea how to do that.  Ideas?

At the bottom is the script itself.  There's probably some aspects of
it which aren't nice, maybe Petr can advise on this (and maybe increase
the functionality of the git shell script to fill in where necessary.)

However, I've made a start to generate the necessary emails.  How about
this format?

I'm not keen on the tree, parent, author and committer objects appearing
in this - they appear to clutter it up.  What're your thoughts?

I'd rather not have the FQDN of the machine where the commit happened
appearing in the logs.  (I've 'xxxx'd it out for the time being, because
I'd rather not have yet more email-address-like objects get into spammers
databases with which to hammer my 512kbps DSL line.)

Linus,

Please incorporate the latest ARM changes.

	[PATCH] ARM: bitops
	
	Convert ARM bitop assembly to a macro.  All bitops follow the same
	format, so it's silly duplicating the code when only one or two
	instructions are different.

	Fix show_regs() to provide a backtrace.  Provide a new __show_regs()

	[PATCH] ARM: footbridge rtc init
	
	The footbridge ISA RTC was being initialised before we had setup the
	kernel timer.  This caused a divide by zero error when the current
	time of day is set.  Resolve this by initialising the RTC after
	the kernel timer has been initialised.
