Do we really need two git trees in the future? And do we need all
those different branches in a public tree?

I suggest that we go back now to a single wireless tree, that
should have only those three branches:

master     - latest tree put together by John
up         - tree with patches going into mainline
up-2.6.x.y - bug fixes against last released mainline

Will John have more branches in its private tree? Sure! Will the
wireless developers have their own public trees? Certainly! But I
really question the value of two wireless trees with a larger
number of branches.
