Pulled.

Btw, on a mostly unrelated note (and to balance the fact that mostly I
only speak up to complain), I'd like to say how much I appreciate that not
only are your git tree histories now clean and readable and don't have
unnecessary merges, but the use of clear "topic branches" really makes it
very pleasant to read and see what changed.

I'm certainly hoping the topic branches make your life easier too (ie able
to track things by topic rather than having changes mixed up), but even if
it doesn't, I wanted to say that I appreciate how it makes it easier for
outsiders to follow the "big outline" of your development tree.

So I just wanted to say that I appreciate how it's nice to do "gitk
ORIG_HEAD.." and see the outline of what has been going on in the ACPI
tree after I have pulled. And I'm hoping it actually helps you guys too,
but it's appreciated regardless.

See? Sometimes I can say nice things too.
