[Qemu-devel] Git repositories

I was looking at the page Qemu.com and had a question. What is the  
different between the QEMU 0.10 Stable tree and the QEMU master  
repository? Which one do I want to apply patches to?

 The stable tree only gets bug fixes and the master one is where
development takes place.

The 0.10 stable tree is for the 0.10.x series which is now community 
supported.  If you have a patch that applies to 0.10.x but not to 
master, then you should send a patch against that tree.

We've not encountered that scenario so far.

A search of the list reveals that in February you said the repo on
Savannah would eventually be the official tree. Has that happened yet?

I ask because I'm wondering which tree I should diff against if I submit
a patch. qemu.com's master repo hasn't seen any activity since the end
of July, whilst savannah is busy right now, but I didn't find anything
in the archives announcing the move had happened.

savannah's been the official tree for ages now.
