Re: Sneaking patches in (was Re: System hang when trying to enter sleep/standby state)

Are we playing patch wars or what?

Not at all. The changes were discussed and sent to Andy, who had me 
forward them to Linus. The issue in question - disallowing the user from 
entering S5 directly from /proc/acpi/sleep was discussed on the list, and 
Andy agreed that it should be removed. 

I have not seen any patch on the lists, *and*
you also moved big blocks of code to hide your
changes. That's pretty nasty behaviour.

That's not true. The patch to make that change is here: 

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=acpi4linux&m=104508487609853&w=2

And the accusation about moving large blocks of code to cover it up is 
completely unfair. It's not a conspiracy. 

It was also explained, along with every other change in the changelog
entries. I know that you are opposed to using BitKeeper, so I recommend 
that you subscribe to, or read, the bk-commits-head list, which has every 
patch Linus commits, with diffstat output and full changelogs for each. 

You can find info here: 

http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html

and an archive here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&r=1&w=2

FYI, there is also a bk-commits-24 for 2.4 commits by Marcelo.
