As this is all untested code which replaces ext2 which is in active
use by a large number of boards I decided to put this into a separate
branch "ext4" for now so people can easiy test it.  If there are no
problems, or the problems have been fixed in time, we can merge this
branch around when -rc1 comes out.

Hope this is OK with you.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

That said, there may be good reasons for what you did beyond obsequi-
ous sycophantic parody. Perhaps you might be so kind as to elucidate.
