There's a queue, and those are in the queue. Complaining how things moves slowly is just as bad as complaining about merges happening in the first place. Assuming it doesn't screw up with the merging scripts then go and cherry-pick, but wait for confirmation from either Derek or Hendrik since they know how it works. Just keep in mind doing so will also create even more NOP merges that you said you dislike. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
