Yes it will: a postmerge tree contains a buildable merge base and the
additional patches. You can see how this is done at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-post-merge-2.6.git
Which contains the ibft tree and scsi-misc as the merge base then has
be2iscsi patches that depend on both. The tree is individually
buildable and linux-next only pulls in from merge-base to the top (have
to make sure it's included after all the other trees, though).
