Just to clarify: David sent me about ten patches in close succession with nary _any_ explanation of any of the patches.
Quite frankly, I tend to ignore that kind of spam-mail even when I don't have a new baby. If the submitter of patches cannot bother to tell what the patches do and why I should apply them, I won't be bothering to apply them.
Using the CVS tree is not going to help that.
Btw, Alan, I haven't even _seen_ your patches,
Linus
