Something you may plant on a patch of grass? "Merging" becomes a strange concept in that context though. :-)
I do know some farmers who splice trees thought :-)
Its in my patch stack yes.
Quilt I suppose?? (yet another word.)
Yes, I'm one of the refugee Quilt users. Comes in handy when cold too :-)
I should get some of that into tip I suppose, been side-tracked a bit this week. Sorry for the delay.
If you prefer we pile those patches (and future ones after revew) ourselves just let me know. Future patches are likely to be more intimate with the scheduler so I just need to know who to upstream them through afterwards.
Normally I get Ingo to pick up the queue 1-2 times a week so latency shouldn't be too bad. But we just had the merge window and then I got side-tracked rewriting all atomic implementations.
So usually submit patches against tip/master unless you know there's other pending bits that conflict, in which case you can grab my queue on top of tip/master -- but I try to make sure that's usually not needed.
