Yes, that's the only way to do this right now, sorry.

Hm, do you _really_ want to live off of Marcelo's and Linus's BK trees?
I've tried it, and it's pretty hard at times :)

The main reason the USB bk trees are not based off of the "official" bk
trees, is they have been around much longer than the official ones.
Personally I also find it much easier to work day to day off of just the
-pre increments, rather than pulling in 50+ changesets a day.

It's also easier to generate clean patches that can be applied to the
official bk trees this way.  And most of the time, I don't want to send
all of the changes that I have in the USB trees to Marcelo and Linus,
since bk doesn't have the ability to pick and choose what changesets to
push upward, we (or I) need a separate tree to work out of.

But if this doesn't work for you, please let me know and I'll see what I
can do.

What kind of USB development were you looking to do?

thanks,

greg k-h
