Is that correct? > Or should I be using "tty-testing"? tty-testing is where things go before they are considered "good enough" to get into "tty-next" which is never rebased, and is what will be sent to Linus for the "next" kernel release (not this one.) Sometimes it is rebased if I mess things up, but usually it's pretty stable. Patches only sit in there for 24 hours usually before ending up in "tty-next" "main" just tracks Linus's branch, don't use it, I just need a branch to diff against. "tty-linus" is what will be sent to Linus for "this" release (i.e. bug fixes only.) Or you can just work off of the linux-next tree, which merges in both of my tty-next and tty-linus branches together (and all other maintainer trees/branches), every day, and is usually a good base for what will be the "next" release after this one. hope this helps, greg k-h
