When I pull this tree I start to get an enormous number of objects
sent over, way more than your pull request indicates:

[davem@bql net-next]$ git pull git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge.git tags/batman-adv-for-davem
remote: Counting objects: 42485, done.        
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (7640/7640), done.        
Receiving objects:  12% (4594/36644), 1.42 MiB | 56 KiB/s     C-c C-c

I Ctrl-C'd this because I don't even want to see what this is going to crap
into my tree.

You have something totally inappropriate in there, and I think your changes
are not based upon my net-next tree, but rather something entirely else.

I took a quick look and it looks like you prepared this against either
Linus's tree or the 'net' tree.

NEVER DO THIS.

You must based your changes exactly, and solely, upon the tree you
want me to pull your stuff it into.  It is never appropriate to make
changes against another tree, and then ask me to pull the result of
that into mine.

Please do not waste my time with garbage like this.
