This is actual question for me too. Now I track Chris Mason's git tree for latest integrated changes but if any other active git repositories exist, please say. We are like to use btrfs actively in future (and use it now) in our customer's products, so I intend to be involved in development. And last question about development process: can I hope that btrfs maintainers will use the patchwork.kernel.org for patches tracking? It's sometimes very difficult to track status of patches sent to mailing list. For instance, I am trying to get Anand's patches for 'global hot spare' functionality working, they depends from two another patchsets which were re-sent few times with changes and introduced new bugs etc... Btw, Anand, if you have public git repo with 'global hotspare' patches, could you please send it's location also? -- Yauhen Kharuzhy
