Hi Stephen, I am not planning to send any pull requests for v3.11, at least not for the branches that I rebased. I can rewind the next branch if you like. If so, would rewinding it to the point it was at for next-20130709 make sense? Also, on this topic, could you clarify when it would be appropriate to do any rebasing. Obviously I am not clear on this.
