Hi Tony, I've pulled them all into the fixes branch for now, but I'm not sure if I still want to send another pull request. If I do, I'll have to rebase that branch and put some into the next/fixes branch instead as I already have patches that I don't want to send for 3.1 any more. Are the patches all fixes against 3.1 only or do some of them also apply to older releases? Arnd

But assuming that we had valid fixes, you could just do something like this too: $ git checkout -b omap/fixes-for-rc $ git reset --hard b8e111a74d281b70e88bd67fec48cfda4f9bdce2 ... Then merge all the -rc fixes for various ARM platforms with: $ git checkout fixes-for-rc $ git reset --hard v3.1-rc9 $ git merge omap/fixes-for-rc soc foo/fixes-for-rc bar/fixes-for-rc And then no rebasing is needed. Of course I could also set up a separate fixes-for-rc for that if you prefrer that :) Regards, Tony

I normally have a 'fixes' branch for the current release and a 'next/fixes' branch for stuff that should wait for the merge window. Unfortunately, some of the stuff I already merged into 'fixes' turned out not to be 3.1 material after all. Adding a third branch of course works, so I can do that tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion. Arnd
