FYI, I've set up a tree with my currently posted patches, with branches currently as follows:
git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git
Upstreamable branches:
- master : base branch in sync with linus' tree
- arm/* : topic branches for ARM architecture support stuff
- arm-all : merge branch of arm/* (excluding arm/development/ branches)
Changes appearing in the above branches has either been posted on upstream lists or is about to be posted.
Development branches:
- development/* : development versions of upstreamable branches.
These are more volatile and may not have been discussed upstream.
Dirty branches:
- dirty/* : hacking branches which are considered unsuitable for upstream
- dirty-all : merge of all interesting changes including dirty ones
The dirty* branches are not ready for upstreaming: Don't pull these branches without good reason.
Do we have a systematic place to document the contents of git trees? I put the above text in linux-2.6-arm.git/description, but gitweb only seems to show the first line.
I don't think we do. Maybe a wiki page with that info could do it? I've also received a few inquiries about what the Linaro kernel tree is and what it is not and therefore that information could belong there too.
I'm a bit of a newbie to this, so any comments welcome regarding how I've set this up.
This looks excellent!
