No. You have totally destroyed your git tree.

In particular, commit e338b736f1aee59b757130ffdc778538b7db18d6 is crap,
crap, CRAP.

It's "Merging Linus tree", but it's not a merge at all: you have just
applied the _patch_ to merge the changes in my tree, but you haven't
actually told git to do so.

I don't know how/why you did that, but it's totally bogus, and I refuse to
pull from that tree. That's a 5000+ line diff, affecting about 180 files!

Now, when I pull from your tree, since the changes are already in mine,
git is smart and it will all _merge_ fine, and there are no changes to
those files as far as the end result is concerned. But that's still damn
bogus.

Have you done things like that before, and I just didn't notice? And why?

Linus
