May I point out again that it doesn't work for me. My patches to trunk would be fixes for Monticello. These fixes would break trunk, therefore it doesn't work as you suppose.
So these are not patches to trunk.
I have done my damnedest to get people to manage packages like Monticello and SUnit externally, but it doesnt work.
Monticello is as far as I know is maintained in trunk. (it shouldnt be), it should be integrated in from elsewhere.
Non of my changes are developed in the kernel. Everything I do is a loadable optional thing.
