Good idea. But why do you need to rebase?
I think it's ok just send a merge request even if the base commit is not
Linville's HEAD, but few weeks older. And once John has merged your pull
request you just merge back John's tree (which apparently looks like a
rebase, at least it did for me) and both trees have same HEAD again. I
recall doing this with ath6kl.git and it didn't have any problems, and
it's so much nicer for the users of your tree.
