It's been two weeks, so it's time to close the merge window. A 2.6.28-rc1

is out there, and it's hopefully all good.



The changes in -rc1 are (as usual) too many to really enumerate, with the

bulk of them being - again as usual - drivers. In fact, that's doubly true

now that we merged the drivers from the staging tree. The dirstat output

makes that very obvious:



3.3% arch/arm/

14.2% arch/

3.1% crypto/

4.0% drivers/media/

3.7% drivers/net/wireless/

10.3% drivers/net/

6.5% drivers/staging/me4000/

8.5% drivers/staging/slicoss/

4.8% drivers/staging/wlan-ng/

29.7% drivers/staging/

63.6% drivers/

3.3% include/

4.6% net/

4.6% sound/



but some other statistics may be fun:



- 7141 non-merge commits (and 419 merges)



- average non-merge commit:

39 lines removed, 104 lines added

(not counting renames)



- About 880 individual authors

- 340 of which had just one commit

- while 183 authors had ten or more commits



- Most screwed-up clock award goes to:



Greg Kroah-Hartman



for his commit 51b90540, which claims to be from April 9 - six years

ago! And it's a fix to a driver that was merged this July!



Way to go, Greg!



Anyway, have fun, please test it, and report any intersting anomalies you

find.



Linus
