OK, the above is true, but I have been a bit confused.  I was trying to
figure out why (if the above is true, a "git fetch watchdog" did not
update what I have fetched.  It turns out that the tree I pull into
linux-next is
git://www.linux-watchdog.org/linux-watchdog-next.git
the one you asked Linus to pull is
git://www.linux-watchdog.org/linux-watchdog.git

So instead of just fetching from one tree to the other, it seems that
you have reapplied the patches from one to the other :-(
