OK. So cloning /linuxtv.org/git/linux-2.6.git, and not the /linuxtv.org/git/v4l-dvb.git, with git-menu is the proper way to set up a tree on linuxtv.org, correct?. (git push didn't work right if I cloned /linuxtv.org/git/v4l-dvb.git with git-menu. I got an error message about'fast-forward' commits and not losing data.) > The last changes are currently at devel/for_v2.6.34 (with some patches that will > go soon to upstream).
