I wanted the split files added to 2.6.30 not 2.6.31. If they had gone into 2.6.30 you would have patched after the split and everything would have propagated without merge conflicts. In general, changes in git that cross a file split will cause manual manual merges in everything pending past the split.
It wouldn't have helped with the merge issues since bug fixes get merged up into the 2.6.31 branch very fast. In any case, we're in the -rc part of the development cycle - we should be merging targetted bug fixes only. Eyebrows would be raised by a diff of that size going in.
