Since it came up at Flock: if it's possible to incorporate this recent experiencing testing Btrfs patches it'd be nice.
Two patches listed here, one is based on Btrfs integration branch, the other based on 3.16.0. I didn't realize the original patch was based on integration branch, which is apparently why it kept failing to apply with rpmbuild (and hence patch) on kernel-3.16.0-1.fc21.src.rpm. I'm told in this email that git am would have sorted this out for me. (?)

Request 1: if there's a more tolerant patch applying method with git that could be incorporated, even if it's just a step that converts the patch so that rpmbuild/patch will eat it, that would be nice. But if it requires a local git clone of upstream's dev branch, then ignore this part because I'm not going to do that. I'd sooner ask for a patch that applies onto something I'm actually going to build.
Request 2: patches to just get picked up by dropping them somewhere, like rpmbuild/SOURCES/*.patch always get picked up and applied, rather than requiring two manually entered entries in kernel.spec per patch.
Thanks,
Chris Murphy
