So 2.6.29 has hit sid. Anyone want to update the kernel patches? Also,
what patches to apply now that we have git-based goodness?

You can start with the ones on the for-next branch.
I still have to cherry-pick the others to the (to be created) queue branch.
I'll let you know when I'm finished.

Now my git skills have been growing, I created two new branches:
  - m68k-v2.6.29
  - queue

That pretty much rocks! Here's my process in case someone else wants
it or wants to fix it. :)

The only downside seems to be the 47 patch difference between m68k
and the point release or whatever else happened on top of 2.6.29.
Those pretty much all conflicted.

Yeah, that was my biggest fear. I'll refrain from merging any stable
revisions in the
future.

I just pushed the patches for debian 2.6.29-4.

A few comments:
  - If you cloned from linux-m68k.git, you don't have to do the `git
remote add',
    as `origin' is already the same remote.
  - You may want to put a `sort' in the `find ../bugfix/m68k/2.6.29
-print | sed -e 's;../;+ ;' | sed -e 's;$; m68k;' >> $series`
    pipeline.
