I will keep in mind.

You can checkout Dave's net-next-2.6 branch. What are you missing? I see
three options here:

1. Setup can-next-2.6 to ease the maintenance of David Miller. I would
   apply *accepted* patches to this branch and tell Dave from time to
   time to pull from it. There is little benefit for normal users.

2. Setup a full can-2.6 git tree with *all* drivers from the SVN
   repository (excluding the old ones). That's a significant maintenance
   effort, especially to provide compatibility with older versions.

3. Move the out-of-tree code from the BerliOS SVN repository to git.
   That's a valuable option, indeed.

Wolfgang.
