Announce: XFS staging tree

Announce: XFS staging tree

[Christoph Hellwig]

I've created a new tree of all patches that have been reviewed, and
properly QAed but haven't been merged into the SGI tree for reasons
unknown to us patch submitters.

QAed means they pass xfsqa without regressions on x86 and ppc64.


The patch series is available under

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hch/xfs/xfs-staging-20081121/

for the specific version I just released for today, or

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hch/xfs/xfs-staging/

for an always current version.  Tarballs are also avaiable under

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hch/xfs/

I'll add all patches that have gotten review on linux-xfs to it after
they pass xfsqa for me.   Patches will be dropped as soon as they get
into the xfs git tree.

Stephen, can you add these to linux-next so that the patches get a
little wider testing base?

Cheers,
	Christoph

Lachlan has about 30 patches almost ready to push back out (mostly yours
Christoph). Sorry for the delays and the frustration this is causing. Just
waiting for some back-end constipation with ptools to resolve, which will
happen early next week.

On-going, this might be a better way to manage the patch queue, at least
possibly better in terms of front-line QA. Maybe an almost-open-access
git repository for incomming patches could work too. What do others think?
