Well, if you are planning on doing more e2fsprogs work, why not work
against a shared patch queue which is under git control?  That way we
don't need to do explicit sync ups.

Once we have more than one person with write access into the patch
queue, if someone plans to make changes that involve reorganizing or
refactoring patches, they should send e-mail to take a "lock" on the
patch queue.  I normally work on the patch queue in concentrated
bursts, usually in the evenings or on the weekends, so if you're going
to "take the lock" to work on the patch queue during the day, we're
not likely to collide with each other.

I believe this will be a far more efficient way of working together,
which won't require massive "sync up" efforts.
