Possibly.  We'll need a really good explanation for Linus as to why

Are you sure you actually managed to update that?

$ git ls-remote master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/cell-2.6.git merge
f90a87b5f5fa46dc6c556e9267a6f25a95fbef14        refs/heads/merge

and f90a87b5f5fa46dc6c556e9267a6f25a95fbef14 is the same commit from
2008-08-09 that you asked me to pull previously.

Paul.
