pull request: batman-adv 2012-05-01

  Hello David,

this is the new version of my previous pull request (issued on 2012-04-29).
I'd like to see this changesin net-next/linux-3.5.

In this pull request I entirely removed the D.A.T. code, that as we were
discussing in the previous thread, needs some rewriting to avoid directly
dealing with the neigh table.

This patchset only contains fixes and cleanups.

Letme know if there is any problem!

Thank you,
	Antonio

When I pull this tree I start to get an enormous number of objects
sent over, way more than your pull request indicates:

[davem@bql net-next]$ git pull git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge.git tags/batman-adv-for-davem
remote: Counting objects: 42485, done.        
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (7640/7640), done.        
Receiving objects:  12% (4594/36644), 1.42 MiB | 56 KiB/s     C-c C-c

I Ctrl-C'd this because I don't even want to see what this is going to crap
into my tree.

You have something totally inappropriate in there, and I think your changes
are not based upon my net-next tree, but rather something entirely else.

I took a quick look and it looks like you prepared this against either
Linus's tree or the 'net' tree.

NEVER DO THIS.

You must based your changes exactly, and solely, upon the tree you
want me to pull your stuff it into.  It is never appropriate to make
changes against another tree, and then ask me to pull the result of
that into mine.

Please do not waste my time with garbage like this.

Even worse, you based this on the linux-next tree.

What in the world is wrong with you?

What in your mind makes you think I want to pull in all
of the rest of the linux-next stuff into MY TREE?

I'm really pissed off.  Don't send me pull requests for at least
a week, I don't want to deal with you at all at this point.

I'm really sorry David.

You are right, when pulling the remote branch I wrongly chose the incorrect repo
from git.kernel.org (don't know what was going on in my brain and I swapped
net-next with linux-next) :-(. I paid my inexperience. But at least I (and
others) can learn from my errors.


Sorry for wasting your time.

I will surely avoid this in the future.
