And has already been rebuilt (I won't use 'rebased' because that's really
not what happens to it.) I've already re-explained this to Nicolas. It's
equivalent to someone basing their work off linux-next and expecting to
have that pulled into some other tree.

What's even worse is that Nicolas has published this as an official
branch for other people.

I suggest that you drop the at91 tree this time around if you get
conflicts.
