While looking at the repos list, I realised you are tracking some ubuntu git trees that are not actually useful, namely: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/roc/linux-2.6 git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/net-next I would like to ask if you could remove these two and add instead the linux-3.5.y branch in the git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git repo (I'm not sure if you track the branches separately).
