What is the current version? I used the net-next branch as a base from
here:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git

I thought net-next was used for new features, but master branch now
has newer commits. Should I rebase on top of master?

Thanks, so checkpatch.pl applies to iproute2 as well. I'll fix these in v3.
