Yes. It presents a problem for bisectability, however it seems only a problem in the since-3.5 branch: the patches sent to Linus are actually in good order. So it should be fine. Btw, is it meaningful for me to test the bisectability of all the memcg branches? If not, you may give me a list or pattern for me to take care.
