Yeah, that was my biggest fear. I'll refrain from merging any stable
revisions in the
future.

A few comments:
  - If you cloned from linux-m68k.git, you don't have to do the `git
remote add',
    as `origin' is already the same remote.
  - You may want to put a `sort' in the `find ../bugfix/m68k/2.6.29
-print | sed -e 's;../;+ ;' | sed -e 's;$; m68k;' >> $series`
    pipeline.
