Yeah those duplicate commits happen when we rebuild the linux-omap
tree on a new -rc. That's when all the development and testing
branches get merged back in again.

To keep the linux-omap tree pullable all the time, we rebuild 
the linux-omap tree periodically with something like this:

$ git checkout -b tmp-rebuild-1258915893 linus
$ git merge -m "Merge omap-testing" omap-testing
$ git merge -m "Merge for-next" for-next
$ git merge -m "Merge cbus" cbus
$ git merge -s ours master
$ git checkout master
$ git merge tmp-rebuild-1258915893

What I've queued up is in for-next branch, omap-testing and
cbus are just development branches that may get rebased as
needed. And master branch is what people are using for omap
to test things, and that stays pullable.

As we currently carry the ehci-omap patch in omap-testing branch,
it shows up as a merge every time we rebuild. These duplicate
commits will disappear once the echi-omap gets merged to Linus'
tree.

Tony
