This was one of those "during the pre-release freeze, instead of reviewing shiny new toys by others too early, spend leftover time to tie loose ends" attempts ;-) I'd agree that the "final" version should do our usual "progressive improvement, never stepping back one and then forward two", but I wanted to see what the endgame state would look like first, and by doing the incremental "the first one gets it 80% right, and fix it up with follow-up patches" I didn't have to worry about at what point I need to take the authorship of which patch. -- 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
