Also explaining the rotation of those two trees would be useful (I suppose some other subsystems too use somewhat similar rotation). I.e., net-2.6.26.git will eventually be opened and new development should be based on it (whenever such tree with a future version number is available), and that tree then becomes net-2.6.git once 2.6.25 is out. net-2.6.git is usually for fixes only unless merge window is currently open. These things come up quite often. -- i. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
