Can you please provide some pointers how not to > do it wrong? Perhaps, I am not aware of some tricks. One question, are you still working on this stuff or not? I'm confused by the disparity in your messages. I'm going to guess that you're in for now. Do: `git rebase -i <base> --onto <newbase>` Where: <base> is the SHA1 of the first patch below your changes in `git log` <new_base> is Guenter's staging tree on kernel.org Ensure you're rebasing all of your patches (and patches that aren't yours) when your $EDITOR pops up. If they are wrong, delete all the lines in the file and the rebase will be aborted. If they're correct save and close your $EDITOR. You'll receive conflicts. You can see the state of the conflicts using `git status` Open the file, find the conflict markers and make a choice from the HEAD section or the section from your patch. Sometimes you'll need to manually merge the two, if there are changes from both refs that you want to keep. Once you're happy `git commit -a` and `git rebase --continue`. Each conflict should not take you long, but if it does, keep at it, as it's good practice. After a time of doing it, you'll be able to fix merge conflicts in no time at all. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
