I've setup a tree on kernel.org yes, but there's nothing useful in it yet (it has 3 branches, master, merge and next, but they are currently pointing to the exact same spot as Paul's). I've started collecting things yesterday and sending comments, I'll push some new stuff out today or tomorrow. Mostly been "training" with git and patchwork so far :-) Ben. -- 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/
