These trees are usually empty (since things get sent to Linus fairly quickly during the -rc's) but it means that between the time between when the fixes are ready and when Linus integrates them, people testing linux-next don't have to worry about bugs that already have fixes. Having them in a (logically) separate tree, as far as linux-next is concerned, means that if I have to drop your -next tree for any reason then the bug fixes can stay. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
