I guess I'm confused here. I have the davinci tree as a remote:

$ git remote -v | grep davinci
davinci http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-davinci.git

And that by fetching I am getting all of the remote's objects into my
local database but not merging into my current HEAD. I think this is 
what I want since my intent is to create a branch rooted at the commit id
you provided. Then once on this branch there wouldn't be a need for any
pulling/merging since my local tree is at the exact place your's was
immediately prior to the patches.

Not so?
