Konrad,

Apologies in advance for the rookie git questions.

I'm assuming the git repos you mentioned are based on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git ?

Your devel/xen-pcifront-0.7 isn't visible:

%> git branch -r  | grep devel/xen-pcifront

  origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.1
  origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.2
  origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.3
  origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.4
  origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.5
  origin/devel/xen-pcifront-0.6


and your devel/xen-pcifront-0.6 forces a config restart:

0 %> make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig arch/x86/Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* General setup
*
Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?] y
Cross-compiler tool prefix (CROSS_COMPILE) [] (NEW) ^Cmake[1]: ***
[oldconfig] Interrupt
make: *** [oldconfig] Interrupt

Is there a trick to avoiding the config restart?
