The net tree never rebases, so pulling it into your tree is fine and a
good solution. That would move the conflict resolution from my tree to
yours (which is always better since you know your code better than I do).
The only thing to remember is that the net tree should be merged into
Linus' before the nfsd tree during the merge window. (It doesn't really
matter, but is good form as then Dave will get blamed for any problems
introduced by his tree rather than you :-))
The only other downside is that if Dave's tree has a bug (in the part you
have merged) that causes me to drop it then I will have to drop your tree
as well. However, that doesn't happen very often (right, Dave? :-)).
The alternative of Dave merging your tree into his only works if you can
guarantee that you will never rebase your tree.
