You mean you can release a patch before the end of the week, right?
Personally, when a patch was initially submitted before the end of the
merge window, I will accept subsequent versions of it and apply them
even if they are submitted after the merge window has closed.
Only, be sure to follow *all* rules for submitting new versions of a
patch set as laid out in
<http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patches#Sending_updated_patch_versions>
. Particularly:
- *always* provide history for *each* patch
- *always* provide history *below* the commit message delimiter ('---')
- *always* post version N of a patch "in-reply-to" version N-1.
- *never* post a patch set twice under the same version. Even if you
forgot some trivial thing like signed-off-by, repost with a *bumped up*
version number (and provide updated history)
Be warned that not respecting these rules will result in the patch set
being NAKed (and, in turn, will force you to re-post a Vn+1 patch...)
