Hmm. Concider that yuou did all of the above, and then mail me
that there's an update. Now I need to merge updates to multiple branches 
directly
and git pull does not do this. It's a problem.

A simple script can do this.

You'll have to check out branches one by one, and do a pull.
What if there's a conflict? I currently just do git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD
and mail the maintainer to fix it up - but this won't work
with the "bush of branches" approach.

If there's a conflict, then you need a different patch. A single patch may work for all backports, or a fix may require different patches depending on the kernel version. As it stands now, there are patches that we apply that do not work and expect a subsequent patch to fix it up.
