This makes my job of keeping mainline in sync a lot easier and preserves the fine granuality. And it works nicely although the internal tree has some additional noise in it (kdb and HSM support). > If it wasn't such a pain to get stuff into the tree, you would see > smaller changesets. Umm, getting smaller changesets in is not such a pain :) Linus has stated very often that he prefers small patches that do one thing and I 100% agree with him. Let me suggest we heel you out to get the current update in (and I think with your latest slave_* fixes and/or Doug's scsi_scan.c revamp it's time to get it in now) and you send small, self-contained patches afterwards?
