git remote update.

What I do for my trees is to merge bugfixes up into the -next branch
pretty much immediately, that seems to be much less confusing for users
as they can just grab one branch and I don't have to wait for a suitable
tag from Linus to merge the fixes up.  It's not that the merge is hard,
it's that people aren't expecting to have to do it.
