Thanks for replies. I kinda figured the hard way would be how it needs to be done but thought I'd check if some sort of short circuit existed. :-)
So I will go off and think about it it some more. I'm also coming up on a busy period so it will be stalled a little. My two main choices now are to keep bamba branch as-is (because it already has small patches that can be easily reviewed) and cherry pick Ping's improvements in linuxwacom and submit those as additional patch. Reviewing the alignment patch will probably be confusing without context of original patches. Or I need to rework Jason's patches to include Ping's improvements spread out over related smaller patches. The main issue here is I'll have to edit a remote git repo's history which will confuse anyone's clone's. I already have a list of what needs to be aligned so that part is not an issue for me... and I've probably the best context for this job at the moment since I'm actively working on bamboo and also looking at both sides of the fence.
