Yes, as I understand it, there was a closed room discussion between
several folk about how you'd handle sending your next round of patches
to me.

What you apparantly decided (and I'm saying this from how it appeared
on the receiving end and sort-of had it confirmed by Kevin in conference)
is that you'd send a patch set for me to review, I'd review it, and then
you'd merge it within your git tree into a branch for me. You'd then do
the same thing with the next patch set, and so forth.

Eventually, near the merge window, you sent a pull request for the
entire lot, by which time I looked at the list of changes and wondered
whether that encompassed everything you'd asked me to review, or whether
it contained extra stuff, or whether it was for something quite different,
or what.

So by separating the review from the merge by weeks or even months, it
created additional problems.
