I redo the conflict fixup (well, "git rerere" usually does it for me)
each day, and by the time the tree gets merged by Linus, he will either
fix the conflict as well, or somewhere along the way it gets taken care
of by the owner of one of the trees by doing a merge or rebase against
Linus' tree after the other tree gets merged.
Or sometimes we do a temporary form of an API change so that other trees
can do the API change early and thus remove the conflict.
There is nothing official about this procedure, I am just trying to make
things easier by noticing possible problems early.
