The official tree is now at:

	git://linuxtv.org/media.git

Such tree is not expected to be rebased, so IMO the best is to point
to it. I just submitted a patch mass-updating the references to
media_tree.git to it. Such patch has to be backported, as even
stable versions should be pointing to an existing tree (and we may
soon get rid of the media_tree.git and media_stage.git trees).

Assuming that we have a smooth process, I don't expect that patches
at the uvc merge tree to be there for a long time. Also, this is
meant to be a short-lived tree with the migration to media-committers
(which is a tree that can be rebased).

So, IMO, it is not worth pointing to the uvc merge tree.

Thanks,
Mauro
