We should also mention merges. If you're putting something into a git
tree for me to pull from, it's best if that pull will _not_ result in a
merge. That means you should base it on the current mtd-2.6 tree, not on
a tree which you've merged with Linus' tree for yourself.

Obviously, if you have a longer-lived git tree with stuff like xattr
support in it, that's expected to have merges -- I mean the above just
for the short-lived stuff.
