In this particular case, I think Dave asked Rusty to just do a net wide
sweep - see the commit message:

commit 3db1cd5c05f35fb43eb134df6f321de4e63141f2
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Date: Mon Dec 19 13:56:45 2011 +0000

net: fix assignment of 0/1 to bool variables.

These conflicts are trivial in any case ...
