Since it came up at Flock: if it's possible to incorporate this recent 
experiencing testing Btrfs patches it'd be nice. 

Two patches listed here, one is based on Btrfs integration branch, the other 
based on 3.16.0. I didn't realize the original patch was based on integration 
branch, which is apparently why it kept failing to apply with rpmbuild (and 
hence patch) on kernel-3.16.0-1.fc21.src.rpm. I'm told in this email that git 
am would have sorted this out for me. (?)

Request 1: if there's a more tolerant patch applying method with git that could 
be incorporated, even if it's just a step that converts the patch so that 
rpmbuild/patch will eat it, that would be nice. But if it requires a local git 
clone of upstream's dev branch, then ignore this part because I'm not going to 
do that. I'd sooner ask for a patch that applies onto something I'm actually 
going to build.

Request 2:  patches to just get picked up by dropping them somewhere, like 
rpmbuild/SOURCES/*.patch always get picked up and applied, rather than 
requiring two manually entered entries in kernel.spec per patch.


Thanks,

Chris Murphy
