While it won't bring about the end of the universe, please try to avoid this in the future by selecting the right branch to push into in advance (that's one of the consequences of the new workflow).
Hm. I figured that there's a pretty high chance that the patches won't make it for 3.4.0, so they'd have to go into 3.4-stable, which then again means it's a lot easier to see which ones are still outstanding there. I still maintain a -next queue in parallel where patches destined for 3.5 go into.
Which workflow would you prefer if not the one above? Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
