Re: [linuxsh-dev] Status report on import of Linux 2.4.0-test1

[NIIBE Y. <gn...@ch...>]

Other note.

I have to follow most resent kernel (including testing pre-releases)
to make patches to Linus (or Alan).

But I found that this will be the cause of import conflict, if
we don't have the testing pre-releases in the repository.

It seems for me that two condition are required to avoid conflict.

	(1) Have most resent version in the repository
	    when makeing patches to Linus (or Alan)

	(2) Don't touch files after sending the patch to Linus
	    until he releases new version and we import it

I'm not sure.  Is it the case?  If so, this locking scheme might be
so expensive, IMHO.
