If you are looking at the linux-next patch on kernel.org, then it is relative to 2.6.27, so will contain a lot of stuff in Linus' tree. Its purpose is to allow people to recreate the linux-next tree from a kernel tarball. In the linux-next git tree, the point in Linus' tree that it is based on the the "stable" branch. If necessary, people should be able to bisect between the "stabel" and "master" branches of a linux-next tree. Or, I am told, between one linux-next tree and another (but that sounds painful to me). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
