I'm a big fan of the for-next vs for-linux split for next release work vs bugfixes which we've not applied yet. The whole topic branches scheme makes sense for large changes like the crc work, but seems utterly confusing if applied to every little change, as now the amount of branches you can conflict againt multiplies. I'm defintively in favour of a model that has less active branches. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
