Whatever name you choose. v4l-dvb is just a suggestion.

Something like that. You need to create a working branch, based on one of the
remote branches, and work on it.

The last changes are currently at devel/for_v2.6.34 (with some patches that will
go soon to upstream). So, in order to work against them, you would need to use,
instead:

	$ git checkout -b cxfoo linuxtv/devel/for_v2.6.34
