But I maintain livepatching/livepatching.git the following way: + "master" branch points to the last merge commit in Linus tree. + "linux-next" is based on "master" plus there are merged the "for-X-Y/*" development branches for the next merge window. As a result, "master" and "linux-next" differ only by the few patches which are in the queue for the next release. I believe that most people actually sent patches based on the "master" branch because they work with the Linus tree. Note that livepatching is a pretty slowly moving subsystem. By other worse, I believe that "master" is more appropriate for livepatching.git.
