Or you said I could submit patches to you.  One problem with
only using your tree is that I need to supply updates and backports
for OFED builds.  I've cloned Vlad's tree for that.

How about this for the future: Let me know when you've made
changes and I'll pull and merge your changes into my code.
That way I can still provide everything for OFED and patches
I create should apply cleanly in your branch.  I assume
you could also pull from my tree as well, right?  If you have
a better way to satisfy all we can discuss it.

The last set of patches were 99% cosmetic changes and I
shouldn't need to submit something that unwieldy again.

On that note, I've got another set of patches almost ready to
go and I've split them by issue/fix.  Maybe you should wait to
modify anything in the nes directory until I've pushed my changes
to the OFA servers.

Sorry for the mixup.

Thanks,
Glenn.
