Steve if you do not rebase your next branch and the branch ends up
containing fixes to patches like the above doesn't this mean that when
you do a pull request to Linus the branch you are asking to be pulled
will be too 'dirty' i.e. I thought that the pull request should be like
a patch set and only contain the 'final product' not every change that
was made during development?
I was under the impression that each maintainer constantly rebased their
next branches and that was why one has to checkout the tagged linux-next
each day instead of just pulling. From information on the net somewhere
I have been checking out linux-next using this shell function
checkout-next () {
local branch='linux-next'
git checkout master
git remote update linux-next
git branch -D $branch
git checkout -b $branch $(git tag -l "next-*" | tail -1)
}
Also, when my leaks tree got included in linux-next I was told that it
was ok to rebase and have since been rebasing mercilessly.
thanks in advance for your time,
Tobin.
