For example, let's say that there's a bug introduced when merging Linus tree with mips branch. How do you easily "bisect" in order to do a binary seek of this bug ? BTW, I noticed that Linux mips repository have several branches. Each branch is tracking each kernel minor version. I think this is completly useless : 1 - it makes the repository huge by keeping history since 2.2 (It's pointless for most people) 2 - The way branches are made is broken : you can not fetch separate branches without doing some "grafts" things Why not simply ask Linus to pull from the mips tree ?
