If other topics that depend on it build on the whole series, merging only the first 6 does not make much sense. These other ones are blocked forever. Applying a single patch to revert the no-check-oids patch on top of this series, and merging the resulting 8-commit series to 'master', may be a workable solution, though. We need to keep an eye on the merge possibly reintroducing the no-check-oids stuff when the dependent topics are merged to 'master' (that is why we do not want to see people build new things on another topic that is slushy), but I think there is only one topic, so it should be manageable. Why don't we do this: $ git checkout tb/commit-graph-fd-exhaustion-fix $ git revert tb/commit-graph-split-strategy $ git checkout master $ git merge tb/commit-graph-fd-exhaustion-fix $ git branch -d tb/commit-graph-fd-exhaustion-fix tb/commit-graph-split-strategy That's the simplest solution and we'll have two fewer topics we need to worry about when we are done.
