hrm, could be. It would be strange for that to happen quietly with fuzz=1 and to still produce a compileable result.
But there weren't any patches in this git-merge which weren't in 2.6.23-mm1 so maybe something like that happened. Or maybe that fact that this pull only contained _some_ of the ext4 patches which were in -mm somehow affected things.
Oh well, I should have sent the ext4 changes via Ted anyway. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
