Anthony, how would we merge this best? I can rewrite the history of qemu-iotests to move everything into a tests/qemu-iotests/ directory and rewrite the subject lines of all commits to include "qemu-iotests" (actually I have just tried it out locally, so this part is done). We could then just pull from this temporary repository and keep all of the existing git history. I would send a pull request then without reposting all the patches in the history of qemu-iotests as some of them are pretty big. Would that work for you? Should I add a Signed-off-by to each patch for rewriting the history or would it be okay with Christoph's existing SoB? Kevin
