Given that you've complained about me sending daily pull requests already, how do you intend folk to handle the situation where they've sent you a pull request, it's apparantly been ignored, and they update the tree from which you pull (maybe for akpm's benefit) and then you eventually get around to pulling it a couple of days later? Given your complaint and your comments above, I can only assume that I must not touch a tree which I've asked you to pull for 48 hours just in case you do decide to honour the pull request. If that's not the case, we need something in place so we know what your intentions are. Or we just say "sod it, we'll update the tree anyway and see what happens, and send an updated request after 48 hours." -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core
