That's just my point. This approach is optimal. The alternative is that I (or someone else) jumps through the required hoops to create an immutable branch. As a one off, it's not actually that big of a deal. However, if I do it for you, I have to do it for every submitter, else it's not fair to them. MFD patch-sets inherently cross subsystem boundaries, which means I would end up taking many more patches than I do already. Subsequently the per-cycle MFD pull-request exponentially grows in size, as does my work load. This is the way we've been working for years, and it works really well. I'm not about to change something which isn't broken, just to avoid the really tiny corner-case you described before. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
