And Saurav (at least) :)

I've been misled and in turn I misled Pavel. This is due to a guide in 
kernelnewbies.org that explicitly says to use staging-testing:

https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup

In that page the is a section ("Set up your Linux kernel code repository") 
which says: "[] Then use the revision control system called git to clone Greg 
Kroah-Hartman's staging tree repository: git clone -b staging-testing git://
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git".

I assumed that those instructions must be followed also by developers that 
are not (anymore) in the Outreachy program.

Obviously, I was wrong in assuming the above.

Thanks for your reply, Dan.

Fabio
