No, that's not what I wrote, you should never send Linus a pull request
that requires manual merging. One of us gets to resolve it, depending on
who gets to send the latter pull request.

You don't have to rebase, if my work is merged first then you just merge
Linus' tree into yours and fixup the conflict before asking Linus to
pull.

It's a trivial conflict, I don't understand what the fuzz is about.
