Yes, thanks for that. My suggestion is simply an alternative (instead of git pull) for people who: - aren't quite familiar with git, but know enough to grab a directory snapshot from gitweb (e.g. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs.git;a=tree;f=fs/btrfs;h=5f51bd7e3b8b6c4825681408450e6580bdbccce1;hb=refs/heads/for-linus) - know how to build a module out-of-tree - on the latest stable, but don't want to re-compile the whole kernel just to get btrfs fix -- Fajar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
