Michal's tree is append-only, so all this precision-rebasing is unnecessary. > The -mm tree is > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git or > linux-next -mm branch? It depends what you want for the base. What's in linux-next is based on linux-next, so the latest and greatest. Michal's -mm tree is based on the latest Linus release, and so more stable. Or at least the craziness is contained to mm stuff. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
