I saw the LWN writeup after Vinod mentioned it but what he seemed to be talking about was the practice of doing incremental merges to master each time a topic branch is updated and instead requesting that everything just get merged down at the end which is what I do. Unless he says something directly I'm going to assume my understanding is correct, it's how I send all the stuff I send directly to him so if it was bothering him I guess he'd have said something. I can't see that picking a random topic branch is going to be especially helpful either, it'd end up being one of the fixes branches as they go first which'd quite likely already be in his tree anyway and end up looking like an empty branch based off a non-tag which'd probably upset him more. It's also the mechanism I'm using to merge fixes from him so there is stuff on there relative to the other branches. If it's an actual problem I'm sure he'll say something.
