I was going to send a message about this, but you beat me to it...

I am hoping to persuade you, Michael, Johannes, and anyone else with
a tree I don't know about to rebase your trees off my current tree
so that I can continue to pull cleanly. :-)

The process should not be too painful.  If you are not familiar
with them, I would refer you to git-format-patch and git-applymbox.
The first allows you to extract a series of patches into an mbox
formatted file.  You then can edit/delete any patches that might
already be in the wireless-2.6 tree.  Then, git-applymbox can be used
to apply the series of patches back to the new tree.

If you choose not to do that, then I suppose I will have to replicate
that process locally.  Or, I'll have to insist on you sending patches
to me.  Either of those are likely to result in more delays for your
patches than if you were to rebase and allow me to pull cleanly.

I appreciate your cooperation in this.  I assure you that I am working
to minimize the chances of needing to do this again.

Thanks,

John

P.S.  If you think I'm bad, you should try following davem's net-2.6.17
tree... :-)
