That's nice, but not how I can do things, sorry.

No, I don't want to apply the same patch to 2 different branches.  When
that patch is in Linus's tree, then I will worry about merging them
together, but that's something I do all the time, and not a big deal.

I need this series against the proper branch, if I am going to be able
to apply them.

Otherwise I will gladly just ignore them, which is not what I think you
or Joe wants...

thanks,
