Is there any document that makes the linux-mips configuration management structure more obvious? I see that the 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 lines are in fact parallel branches, so that 2.6.16.27 is newer than 2.6.17. If something is broken in 2.6.17 but isn't in 2.6.16.27, what's the best way to find it? Just compare 2.6.16.27 to the closest parallel 2.6.17.x to see what the differences are?
