If you then pull that tree from him and push it out to linux-next? Then *of course* you are responsible, it was your decision to pull it. I frequently reject pulls from subsystem maintainers on similar (and sometimes lesser) grounds - because such mistakes tend to compound with time. The thing is, if you do Git pulls from someone then you must be absolutely anal about it, because you cannot really fix things up after the fact. The people you pull from must be your extended arms, they must be doing an equal or better job than you. That gives a basis of trust. Once that is established, you can be permissive about mistakes. But arguing that you are not responsible for what you pull is absolutely grotesque and establishes a new low for this discussion really... Also, as I told you in the very first mail, I am *fine* with this having happened, so you having zapped the commits is indefensible IMO. Mistakes do happen and the patch is fine technically and sfr and Linus could have handled the trivial conflict. What I suggested was to do it a bit better in the future.

I think you owe me an apology :-( Thanks, Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
