linux-m68k.git

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

(Finally) I created an experimental git tree for Linux/m68k:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git

It contains more or less all patches I had in my quilt series at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-m68k-patches-2.6/
A notable exception is m68k-PRIVATE-m68k-changes.diff, which hardcoded ARCH to
m68k.

As suggested by David Woodhouse, I grouped the commits by topic. But unlike
David's suggestion, I used topic branches, not topic repositories. Oh well,
we'll see...

I also created for-next and for-linus branches. Do they look OK?

If I did something wrong, please let me know.
This is still experimental stuff, which may be rebased if needed.

In addition, one day I may pull from Ralf's repository that reflects the state
of Linux/m68k CVS a few commits before our server died...

Thanks for all your (past and future) help, suggestions, tips and tricks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

If you plan to keep it then it would be nice if
you could add a T: entry to MAINTAINERS.
This way we can find it again later...

They look good.  I have added the for-linus branch as my m68k-current
tree and changed my m68k tree over to the for-next branch.

That's fine as long as the commits in the for-next branch are: posted
somewhere relevant, reviewed, tested and destined for the next merge
window. (None of these requirements have changed from what should have
been in your quilt tree.)

I expect the for-linus branch to be fixes and stuff for the current
release.

Sweet :-) Cloning already.

As most of your 'topcis' are rather small self-contained patch sets, that should 
be OK. 

Thanks so much!

That's easy enough to undo if the need should arise.

It's CVS that must die, not the poor server ;-)  If you're actually going
to pull the old CVS stuff into the new git repository and you happen to have
a newer snapshot than the one which I've converted I can re-run my converter.

What's the purpose of your m68k-current tree? There should not be anything
in m68k#for-linus that's not in m68k#for-next.

Thanks!

I have a set of trees (15 so far) that are just patches pending for the
current release (mostly bug fixes).  These trees are usually empty (since
things get sent to Linus fairly quickly during the -rc's) but it means
that between the time between when the fixes are ready and when Linus
integrates them, people testing linux-next don't have to worry about bugs
that already have fixes.

Having them in a (logically) separate tree, as far as linux-next is
concerned, means that if I have to drop your -next tree for any reason
then the bug fixes can stay.
