What are you rebasing?  And why?  Just send me patches, I can merge them
when they come in just fine.

Normally yes, I do wait for these to go through your tree, but it was
just so simple, and obvious, and in a bunch of others from the author,
that I figured I could just take it as-is.

sorry if it caused you problems, but you might want to look at your
development process if it is.  You should always be able to handle other
people changing files in your area at any point in time.  Kernel
maintainership is not "no one else can ever touch this!" type of
development, you have to be able to handle stuff like this easily.

thanks,
