As you said yourself [6/8], [7/8], and [8/8] are mechanical conversions, and I do not think it is too much effort involved on your side to "hold these patches off". My preference is to apply [1/8] now, cook the result in 'next' for a few days longer to see if anybody complains or finds glitches in the diff-ni series so far, push it out to 'master' and then apply [2/8] and [3/8] while on 'master'. The remainder would be forked into a topic branch and cooked in 'pu' and then 'next' as usual. Also I do not think we would necessarily want [7/8] and [8/8]. It would help with tests on broken distributions whose 'cmp' misbehaves when the output is redirected to /dev/null, but I do not think it is a good enough reason to make the tests slower. - 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
