I typically pull all the trees once per day. I usually won't even

the contents of what I pulled from you unless it breaks.
IOW, -mm is like a tree to which 70-odd people have commit
permissions,
except it's 70 separate trees and I independently jam them all
into one
tree daily.
So, in other words, you have no issues with a lot of merges in the
branch you're pulling from? Do you do a fresh pull each time or do
you update an existing copy? If you do the latter, then I assume it
is critical that my "for-andrew" branch has a continous history?
(Which it won't naturally have as the changes will be replaced by
identical changes coming from Linus' tree)
I seem to remember Andrew saying something like (paraphrased) "In the
event that your tree doesn't have a continuous history for whatever
reason, I'll just pull a fresh copy and work from there". Given that
he maintains -mm as a quilt patchset and only uses GIT for incoming
pulls, I would guess that either way is probably OK, although the
continuous history makes merging and fixing rejects mildly nicer.
