Hi, I just got into kernel development and currently doing some patching of the usb divers for coding style adaptions and so on. My current workflow is: - get latest torvalds master - merge local master with fast forward to torvalds/master - create new branch, say "usb-core-foobar-cleanup" - patch the stuff, write commits - git format-patch master...usb-core-foobar-cleanup - git send-email ... So what to do with the branches now? I think I should keep them until the patches are merged, okay. And then? delete them? I mean, I'm still the author of the patches, and they will be included in history some time (as soon as the next release comes out they will be in torvalds/master). I just submitted my second patch series to the lkml, and now I have to remember which patch series was the result of which branch... if I submit one or two more patch series, I have to remember the relations between patch series and branches until they are merged, yeah? Or is there something wrong in my workflow? Is it possible to use a github repository and just send a "please pull from git@xxxxxxxxxx...." message to the kernel mailinglist, or will I be beaten for this? Thanks in advance for your answers! -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt. Happily signed with gnupg.
