I have a separate tree that I use for sending net patches. I generally write my patches against linux-next and then postpone sending them until the next day.
Then I open my patch in mutt. cd tmp_tree/ ../switch_to_net.sh cat /var/tmp/mutt-speke-1000-511162-9994856746594827871 | patch -p1 --dry-run If that applies then I "net" to the subject. Otherwise I do a `../switch_to_net-next.sh` verify it applies and send that.
Once in a while I will have to modify my patches to apply cleanly against the net tree.
It's a pain in the butt and I get it wrong disappointingly often. I only do it for networking. Not for linux-wireless. There is another tree where they complain if you don't add a tree to their patches but I forget what it is... (I don't use the process for them, only for networking).
regards, dan carpenter
