I could easily have a tree that is historical and contains what the current linux-next tree contains while also removing old stuff from the normal linux-next tree (I could push into both each day). The only connection between the daily releases is the "history" branch which, frankly, does not serve any purpose and I will remove. The main thing stopping me from doing this right now is that there are several git repositories on master.kernel.org that use the linux-next tree as an alternate. They should not be doing this, but it has been safe up until now since nothing has ever been removed from the linux-next tree. If I did the clean up right now, those trees would be severely broken. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 490 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

FWIW, I use the following setup for linux-next: [remote "linux-next"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/heads/linux-next fetch = +refs/heads/stable:refs/remotes/linux-next/stable tagopt = --no-tags and fetch the next-* tags manually only when I need them.

I probably quoted the wrong part of your email. I wanted to show that the full history of linux-next is not forced on anyone; git can be configured to only fetch the latest state and leave the previously fetched states to the garbage collector.
