NB, per the name it is potentially rebasing, effectively until if/when
it becomes the primary. In practice it hasn't been rebased since the
early days while I was sorting out the translations.
I've got an open action to move it somewhere other than xenbits,
probably git.kernel.org unless someone can supply a more neutral place.
WRT people wanting a more staged transition rather than a flag day: I
think I could tweaking things to rewrite each arch onto its own branch,
which could all be merged up into a single master branch. Then as $ARCH
moves over to using device.tree.git rather than linux.git as their
primary location for DTS we can simply drop the conversion for that
branch and start accepting patches onto master. I think doing anything
more fine-grained than per-arch would be tricky, at least to do
automagically.
Ian.
