So, in other words, you have no issues with a lot of merges in the
branch you're pulling from? Do you do a fresh pull each time or do you
update an existing copy? If you do the latter, then I assume it is
critical that my "for-andrew" branch has a continous history? (Which it
won't naturally have as the changes will be replaced by identical
changes coming from Linus' tree)
