Hm? I do that whenever you pull from me -- I'll pull the merge commit
into my own tree. So the mtd-2.6.git tree you pulled last night, for
example, was based on some "random daily thing" half-way between 2.6.35
and 2.6.26-rc1, which happened to be entitled 'Merge git://...mtd-2.6'.

I try to avoid having to *merge* such a thing, but it certainly does end
up in linux-next as the *base* for maintainers' tree. It's difficult to
see how that could be avoided.
