If you pull from rsync://www.parisc-linux.org/~jejb/scsi-misc-2.6.git That will pull in the rest of my scsi-misc-2.6 tree (which includes all of the rc fixes). I've done a test pull and merge and checked the resulting against BK, so hopefully there should be no more screw ups. Doing this exposed two bugs in your merge script: 1) It doesn't like a completely new directory (the misc tree contains a new drivers/scsi/lpfc) 2) the merge testing logic is wrong. You only want to exit 1 if the merge fails.
