Use git tags instead of branches to avoid such confusion. With
branches you must not push more patches onto the branch until Dave
pulled it. tags are invariant, so make this all a lot easier. Plus
bonus: annotated tags can contain the pull request summary and git
pull automatically inserts it all into the merge commit, making Dave's
life even easier. Shameless plug: the dim scripts we use for
drm-intel|misc.git has this all implemented, including neat templates
:-)
