+    <tschwinge> I also have it on my (never-ending) agenda to add libpthread to
+      the tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker branch and/or propose it be added upstream
+      (as a Git submodule?).
+    <pinotree> imho a git submodule could be a solution, if glibc people would
+      accept it
+    <pinotree> if so, libpthread.git would need proper glibc/x.y branches to
+      follow glibc
+    <tschwinge> Yep.
+    <tschwinge> I though that would be the least invasive approach for glibc
+      upstream -- and quite convenient for us, too.
+    <pinotree> after all, git submodules don't track branches, but point to
+      specific commits, no?
+    <tschwinge> Correct.
+    <tschwinge> So we can do locally/in Debian whatever we want, and every once
+      in a while update the upstream glibc commit ID for libpthread.
+    <pinotree> so we could update the git submodule references in glibc when
+      we've tested enough libpthread changes
+    <tschwinge> Just like when committing patches upstream, just without
+      pestering them with all the patches/commits.
+    <tschwinge> Yep.
