Hm, probably. I'll add that also, I think it is good to point to the real trees, as people do want to know that at times and this information isn't listed anywhere (as evident by the ammount of digging I had to do to find these trees...) > And email addresses for people can be found in CREDITS & MAINTAINERS, > why duplicate info here instead of pointing to those 2 canonical > documents? I'm not meaning to duplicate anything, as we don't have "location of development git/quilt tree" entry in the MAINTAINERS file. Hm, that does sound like the proper place for such an entry, doesn't it? Anyone want to propose that addition? thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
