We do this every now and then though, it's not an issue as long as
nothing stupid is done with the dependent branch at the other end.
I.e. if it's actually a stable branch (which we got promised that it
was).

So, why was the whole v4l tree rebased? Guennadi, you said it was
going to be a stable branch? What happened?

No kidding.  Mauro, can you undo your rebase or should I remove the
dependent branch (and the at91 branch that needs it) from arm-soc
instead?
