I'd expect that a portion of developers prefer git, but I was referring to end-users -- the guys who do the majority of testing imo. I don't know any end-users with any intention of using the git tree. Actually, there are quite a few who stopped updating their hg tree and prefer to use older known working drivers because of the sync problems/broken drivers not being fixed. From a developer standpoint it may be decent but to an end-user it's just turned into a big mess. Oh well, who needs all those testers anyways? ;) Cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
