I rather expected something like how kernel is importing dtc. You just
list the commits you get. If you want the full git history, then I would
expect simple git submodule. In both cases there will be no such patches
on the lists.

For the Ack it does not matter, but I would feel uncomfortable if people
were sending stripped and modified patches with my Rb tag.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
