James, Robert-
        I've been doing lots of backports of FCoE code to the RHEL tree these
last few months, and I've noticed something fairly irritating, and I was
wondering if you two could help me out with it (in fact you two are the only two
which can).  I noticed that commits which are accepted into the FCoE tree that
get passed upstream through the scsi tree have their commit hashes altered.  I
can't find any examples currently, due to the fact that you, Robert, have
recently re-cloned your git tree at open-fcoe.org, so all this nastiness has
been covered up currently, but if things don't change, this issue will quickly
resurface.

Regardless, This makes it _really_ difficult to track a given patchs' traversal 
between trees upstream, and makes my life as a distro subsystem maintainer 
fairly
painful.  Normally I would just live with it, but I can't see any reason why it
should be this way, given that git can easily prevent this with a pull.  James,
Robert, could you two please work out a way to provide commit hash consistency
between your trees?  It would make mine (and I'm sure many other people's)
lives, much easier.

Thanks & Regards
Neil
