For the avoidance of any doubt - and any argument - the 5pm time limit
is there to bring this debacle to a close in a reasonable period. It's
purely there because I want to get this merged by end of Thursday and
no later.
To summarise, my objections are quite simply:
1. Your lack of sign-off on my patch which you merged (which you've
addressed in pull v2.)
2. The combined point of the merge conflict between your tree and Will's
idmap tree, plus the dependency your tree _does_ have on the idmap
changes means it _should_ include Will's idmap changes to ensure
bisectability - and this has the side effect of solving the merge
conflict which shouldn't be there.
Any other objections which you think I've made are a purely a figment
of your imagination.
Now, one thing I haven't checked is the ordering of the commits -
particularly the ordering of the 'fix' patch and my patch. Unfortunately,
standard git pull messages don't give the order so it's not something I
can readily check. I commented on this issue when you posted the patch
set. I hope it will be correct for pull v3 (iow, the fix patch first,
then my patch.)
