yes.

the best way to update is to have tip as a remote and to update via 'git
remote update'. Then you can do "git merge tip/master" - or if this does
not work (tip/master is an integration branch and has to be reset
occasionally) then you can do a 'git-reset --hard tip/master' to switch
over to the new tree.

NOTE: a hard reset means you'll lose local commits. If you want to carry
them over then do something like:

git rebase -i --onto tip/master 123412341234

where 123412341234 is the sha1 of the previous tip/master you based your
local changes on.

yes, it's queued up for v2.6.28. For v2.6.27 we [in -tip] dont do
documentation updates starting at around -rc4 or so (to reduce the
upstream churn).

definitely ;-)
