I get a message saying "This repository is empty. Push to it to show branches and history." :-(

Good idea :-)

I have not been following the discussion as I am not an mm person, but this is not a good sign.

I had a look at those threads and I guess things are better that your comment above implies.
So, a couple of questions:
Have you done a trial merge with a current linux-next tree to see what sort of mess/pain we may already be in?
Is it all stable enough now that it could be sent as a patch series for Andrew to include in mmotm (with perhaps just smallish followup patches)?
