That's not public git history though, those are just patches on mailing lists. Even before it goes into maintainer's lists, in my experience it's extremely rare that a maintainer will force push to their own public -next branch.

- saagarjha 7y agoThe Linux kernel has a bot that reminds people that kernel development happens on the mailing list: https://github.com/KernelPRBot https://github.com/KernelPRBot. Since GitHub does not allow for disabling the pull requests tab, the pull requests invariably get closed.
