If the chnage goes directly to linux-2.[56] tree directly is it also applied to linuxppc-2.5 as well? How do you keep it in sync with kernel.org tree? My logic says that if the changes that goes to kernel.org 2.6 tree is not incorporated to linuxppc 2.5 tree we have a major problem. It would be too difficult to keep track of which tree has which. I would rather like to think that kernel.org has a subset of ppc specific chnages that goes to linuxppc but linuxppc has all the changes that goes to kernel.org linux tree.
