Right, you add/drop patches as various regressions come in, so the branch is going to keep changing, even though it's going to continue to be called -rc1. Actually, now that you're using git trees, even better than patch count would be just to publish the result of 'git describe' on the branch you've pushed. That includes the patch count and the has of the top commit. X-KernelTest-GitDescribe? Kevin
