Well, it is not quite wrong - it is appropriate for -git. That it will be replaced soon is a minor thing, as long as we can work together to make sure your patches are unaffected.

Believe me, I understand the complexities of dealing with -mm, -git, and -i386 trees. It's not just doubly complex, its triply so. I believe the best approach is to make it easiest on the maintainers. So the patch stream I am uploading through -mm, -i386, to -git does not conflict with the Xen patch queue as long as we make sure the next bundle to those same trees applies clean. Again, I broke the Xen patch queue in -mm, and for that I am sorry. I will help you re-integrate against the VMI patches I sent out, as I broke your code, I will help fix it. And we both have a tree to work off from, which makes it rather easy to work together ;)
Cheers,
Zach
