I always aim for keeping the one subsystem git tree which I maintain in
reasonable shape. Including its -mm and -next feeding branches.
Sometimes I want problem reporters to test more than a single patch. In
these cases, I refer them to patch kits and quilt queues which I
maintain independently of linux1394-2.6.git; I almost never ask testers
to try linux1394-2.6.git.
linux1394-2.6.git has been, and still is, first and foremost my
submission branch to -mm. And I have high expectations of what I submit
to -mm. But sometimes something turns out to be a bad idea after all
_long after_ I and the reviewers and testers thought it would be fine.
Besides, the care that I take with my submissions to -mm also does not
change the fact that I submit in different order to you than to -mm.
(As mentioned, reordering could be done to some degree with a respective
number of branches. I don't do it this way currently.)
