It does, but the hang was reported on 3.1-rc1, which does have Jose=

Thanks.

That gives me some insights regarding the differences between the
'for-linus' and the 'for-linus-merged' branches.
for-linus is usually what I send him to pull, and master is usually the
stable things against the last release (3.0 as of today).

for-linus-merged is used when there is a conflict between his current
tree and my for-linus branch.  Linus almost never uses this directly,
since he really likes to resolve conflicts himself.  This is mostly
because he wants to see what the conflicts are and make sure the
integration is done correctly.

But I still provide a for-linus-merged just so we can double check=20
the results of the conflict resolution.
