It works the same way there: take the current branch which is some commit of Linux with your patch applied, and rebase your changes onto whichever release you want to target (might need to use git rebase -- onto). > I don't envisage any upstream accepting my patch.

I was more thinking about other people pulling from your repo, in which case repeated force pushes would cause issues when they try to pull. I wasn't sure if you wanted to actually have the repo public or if this was just to make updating for you easier. > > I hope this helps :P > > It did indeed. Thanks! Glad to be of help! -Marco
