It works the same way there: take the current branch which is some |
| 8 |
commit of Linux with your patch applied, and rebase your changes onto |
| 9 |
whichever release you want to target (might need to use git rebase -- |
| 10 |
onto). |

I was more thinking about other people pulling from your repo, in which |
| 20 |
case repeated force pushes would cause issues when they try to pull. I |
| 21 |
wasn't sure if you wanted to actually have the repo public or if this |
| 22 |
was just to make updating for you easier. |
