As you state this is rare. Who actually checks this? I don't. I pretty much ignore any patch that I marked as stable and it was accepted into the stable tree. If there was a merge mistake, I would never see it. If people are checking for these, then I suggest they use some sort of digest and look. But I really could do without the email that it was applied cleanly. -- Steve
