Hi Stephen,
Like linux-next, pulling the acpi tree into old copies of itself
doesn't work.
This is because I occasionally have to revise various patches and generate
"clean history" for the upstream pull into Linus' tree.
Also, I occasionally re-base branches within the tree up to
newer baselines so that they are easier to test vs upstream.
So if you pull the acpi tree into a copy of Linus' tree
then this type of conflict will go away.
thanks,
-Len
