Ah, yes, sorry ... (but my scripts actually handle either)

What actually happens is
	I fetch all the trees and quilt series
	I import the quilt series to git branches
	I merge the trees.

So you cannot depend on the merge order (which sometimes changes as
well).  This makes sense since I have no influence over the order that
the trees get merged by Linus ... If there are dependencies, they need to
be explicit, sorry, using NEXT_BASE in quilt series or merging (sub)
trees for git.
