Well, I hope you'll be able to straighten it out. Let me know.

I'd like to fix the SM change issue (SM might reassign LIDs when
it is rerun, so AHs will become invalid), but it touches about
the same lines.

It would be nice if svn could be put in this form:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,17)
	whatever should be in 2.6.17
#else
	old code
#endif

then everyone could post patches to you against svn,
and you would just remove the compatibility part for git.

Makes sense?
