That was the original plan.  Not sure why that got changed.  If there is
good reason for it we can change it.

We would prefer patches based on the master branch but patches can be
against the mainline, master or xfs-dev branches.  If a patch against
mainline or xfs-dev doesn't apply cleanly to the master branch we may
ask the author to rebase that patch against the master branch.  If a
patch to the master branch needs auxillary changes to files that only
exist in the xfs-dev branch (ie xfsidbg stuff) we may ask for an
additional patch from the author.

We'll update the docs, thanks for that.
