What others said.
Once you apply those patches to your baseline tree you're dead. If your primary revision-controlled objects are baseline+patch1+patch2+...+patchN then life is much simpler when some smarty decides to uprev baseline. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
