At any particular point in time the tree I have here has lots of problems - failing to compile, crashing, etc. It takes me from four hours to three days just to get a halfway-respectable release out the door. So there's no way in which I'd want to make the tree-of-the-minute externally available - it would muck people around too much and would cause me to get a ton of email about stuff which I'd probably already fixed. That, plus a traditional SCM is an inappropriate format for something like -mm. This tree is a series of patches against Linus's tree - that's how it is developed, tested and sent upstream. Patches get added, dropped, reordered and merged at any time. It's hard to explain - you need to have used patch-scripts or quilt for a while... Prematurely flattening all this into an SCM view is a fairly pointless exercise - the only reason for doing it would be for people to be able to download it. And they can do that by grabbing the single diff anyway. I suppose someone might start offering git -mm trees sometime, as an alternative to grabbing the diff file. - 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/ | ||||||||||||
