What duplicate commits? As far as I know there aren't any. My normal practice is to send a secondary push to fix a few bug fixes targetted for upcoming release (in this case, 6.3), and then I'll reset to -rc2 or -rc3 for patches that are targetted for the next merge window (in this case, 6.4). The data=writeback patches was dropped from dev before the pull request, and won't show up on dev until they are ready for Linus. Cheers, - Ted
