Yeah, that makes sense.

Yes, when I merge there, I usually run a batch process that takes
about 2 hours on my current build machine[1] and compile it with 57
different config/arch combinations.

[1] I'm waiting for a new machine that will hopefully reduce it.

With Kernel test robot, this usually get good results.

It would be still interesting if you could pull from it, as
sometimes I need to create topic branches (either when there's
a controversial patchset that I would be sending in separate, or
when I need to pull from some other subsystem tree to solve a
complex merge conflict).

So, if this is not a problem to you, maybe you can setup your
environment to pull (in this order) from:

	git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git fixes
	git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git master
	git://linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git master

Most of the time, the last pull won't get anything.
