Am OK with all of that, but with a rider. It would make my life even more miserable if there was a (say) git-scsi-tweedledee and a git-scsi-tweedledum. We already have too much out-of-scope code turning up in the git trees and having two trees explicitly modifying the same subsystem would hurt. It's also bad from an engineering POV: there's a decent chance that when combined, they just won't work. So Tweedledee and Tweedledum should both commit to the same tree, please. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
