Ok, so we have a "for-next" branch now: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git for-next If you would include that in linux-next then you can drop the following ones: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git#fixes git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git#features git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git#set_fs Thanks a lot!
