The problem is that Ben's patch set starts with a patch that adds the
"procs" file, and then a patch that fixes the namespace bug, and he
and you used different names for variables/functions even though you
were doing essentially the same thing. So rebasing would involve
pretty much entirely rewriting the first patch and ditching the second
- not just a case of fixing up some merge conflicts.
