Your subject line said, and it's still being used in this thread:
"net-next-2.6 [pull-request]"

What the heck should I take that to mean exactly?

I did look at the merge conflicts I fixed up, code moved from one place
to another or got handled by new helper routines which were being
called, so I picked the appropriate hunk and validated the build.

If I wasn't all that sure of the result I would have replied to you
instead saying "this tree is messed up, I'm not pulling"  And I do
that all the time.

The shorter answer is I did my best and I TRUSTED YOU to only point
a GIT URL my way that was explicitly ready.  Else, you'd say "don't
pull this" rather than have "net-next-2.6 pull request" in the subject
line.

Gerrit, it's over.  The only one in vain is you.
