Correct, it also ignores whatever patches other people have in private
git trees, in their mail clients or in their heads.

I try to send patches for things that break either on the first
day they are broken so mine comes first, or I wait a while to see
if a fix ends up in linux-next to give everyone else a chance to
get their patch into next so I can catch it on a rebase.
