I see that this branch contains a commit "remus drbd: Implement remus
drbd replicated disk" which is not in the 5-patch series you posted.
I guess that that commit was added later - I can see it in my inbox.

If you find the need to add a new patch to a series and update the
already-published git branch, you should send a heads-up to the
recipients of your 0/N email.  When you do this it would be better not
to reuse the existing published git ref name, but to make a new one,
unless you do the followup very quickly after the initial email.

This is useful because the committers and reviewers rely on the two
versions of the series (available via git, and via email) being
identical.

Also, if you send the new patch as N+1/N, eg, in this case
  Subject: [PATCH v10 6/5] remus drbd: Implement remus drbd replicated disk
then it becomes a bit clear that it's supposed to tie into the series.

I will review your drbd patch as part of the series.

Thanks,
Ian.
