No worries... and no offence taken! In a sense we are still exploring possible/desirable workflows and what the missing pieces are. And yes, some thing don't quite make sense from the outside, perhaps because they just don't or because we arent' explaining them very well. In a sense, we do have a bit of a challenge explaining what how all the parts fit together, even to bk old timers it seems. > While I don't expect it to become a routine occurnece for me, > I do see that rebase has utility in some situations. As long as you've got enough tools to use a workflow that fits you, it's all good. cheers, martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
