Ping anyone ?

Is there anything about this patch that makes it unacceptable for inclusion ?
Sorry to insist but this patch is really needed when using feature branches in
a Yocto-like Linux kernel. Without it, it is not possible to merge the correct
version of the feature branch (always the tip is merged without checking the
provided SRCREV).

Please, make any remarks to improve this series.

Best regards,
David
