Hm, I complained about this last time, with no response...

I didn't think that git pulls were going to be allowed from subsystem
maintainers after -rc1 came out.  After that, patches by email were
required to be sent, not git pulls.  This does cause a bit more work
for the maintainer, but it ensures that they only send the patches they
really want to get in.

At least that was what I thought we decided on at the kernel summit...

thanks,

greg k-h

That is not what Linus said on LKML only a week or two ago.  He said git 
pulls are just fine.  It is the content of the git pull that matters.  It 
has to be bug fixes only.  As Linus said, and I couldn't agree more, it 
would be silly to limit the method of patch submission given only the 
content is meant to be limited.

Best regards,
