Over the list, please, not in a git tree. What I need is for others to
review them ... and appearing on the list best encourages that.

It's also better to use something more stable as the base, like linus
head or scsi-misc as the base. The postmerge tree is my most volatile
tree (fairly constantly rebasing as I try to get the merge fixes
right) ... and it's currently defunct until another merge clash appears.

By way of demonstration, try pulling your current postmerge tree into
linus head and see what happens (the resulting conflicts are because of
the rebases).

James
