No, it is not. If you consider only published Linus repository, and private repositories of other people, it usually is star-ish (although mentioned situaltion where somebody else repository took place of center of star-ish configuration wouldn't be possible in tru star-ish model). But please take note of stable repository, -mm repository; the changes are exchanged there and back again. And "What Redhat ships" is AFAIK mix of different repositories and own patches. -- Jakub Narebski Poland - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
