I have a git tree against current linux-omap tree at
http://www.bat.org/~tomba/git/linux-omap-dss.git

It is possible to have a branch based on Linus' tree also, but it's more
maintenance work as I need a bunch of omap patches that are not in
Linus' tree. (Actually, I have never tested DSS2 with Linus' tree, so
I'm not sure how much stuff there's missing).

I'd like to get the DSS2 working on OMAP2 also, but I'm (still) waiting
for my N810. Half a year ago the DSS2 did work on OMAP2, but I'm sure
it's since been broken, and needs some healing.

But after that I'm all for it. 

However, there is a small breakage because of the VRAM manager and
OMAP_TAG removal. That code is common for the old and new DSS. I have a
patch to fix the old DSS to use the VRAM manager, but I don't think it's
a good idea to break the old working code with new experimental code =).
So I think I'll see if I can easily separate the old and new boot time
memory allocation.

But what does it mean in practice? 

Mirroring means you (script?) will fetch a branch from my tree to dss2
branch on linux-omap tree?

What does automerging mean?

Does it mean I can still continue rebasing my tree to keep it clean?
