The patches were technically ok, me or somebody else might want to dig
them out later. Having a history that also shows stuff like this is
imho one of the nice things when using vcs. Not a very strong reason.

On a sidenote is there a nice way to track next?
git checkout -b mynext  remotes/origin/next
to get a local branch tracking next does not work, whenever you do
evil thigs (rebase et al) I end up with having to do

git reset --hard
git clean -f  # I realized this was necessary when git revert failed
              # to work
git checkout master
git branch -D mynext

to get a sane copy and start again. Am I doing something fundamentally
wrong?
