Forgot to mention that for me the best approach is to have the tree name in subject, just like Dave and Linus both recommend: [PATCH 06/12 wireless-drivers-next] wireless: Convert simple uses of a static const Ethernet broadcast address This way I can immeaditely see from patchwork to which tree the patch should go which helps tremendously. And if the tree name is too long you can always shorten it to w-d and w-d-next. -- Kalle Valo
