Your soruce control system presumably supports branching and tagging of
entries. What I would do is to put 2.2.6 (clean) in the source control and
create an ARM branch of this to which you add the 2.2.6-rmk patch.
Then apply the 2.2.6-2.2.7 patch to the main branch (giving you a 2.2.7
clean),
again create an ARM branch at which you apply Russells patches.
If Russell creates a new 2.2.7 patch then you can create a new branch off
the main
2.2.7 branch.
