  • Revert all this. It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from
    earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar,
    apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups.

    Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important
    enough to justify the churn.

  • Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling
    due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental
    majors.

    Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug.

    The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into
    behaving.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
