Heh, I do not work on kernels ;-) Seriously, I think you are giving me a bit too much credit, but I do agree that the tip of "master" tends to be very stable most of the time. This is especially true since some tagged releases were followed up with immediate corrections for "oops, brown paper bag" bugs in the past X-<. But the tip of "master" contains dubious change from time to time (for example, I still haven't sorted out your "log -z" stuff, which is already in my tree). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
