There are already reasonable mechanisms for this.
It's perfectly fine to have multiple T: entries, one for a current tree, another for a -next tree.
SECTION - name M: who <email.address> T: git <url> T: git <url-next> F: dir/file_pattern
Linus rarely seems to object to pulling Documentation updates.
Note the Documentation updates after any -rc2
$ for ((i=25 ; i<36 ; i++)) ; do \ cv=v2.6.$i-rc2..v2.6.$i ; \ echo -n "$cv: " ; \ git log --pretty=oneline --no-merges $cv -- Documentation | wc -l; \ done v2.6.25-rc2..v2.6.25: 87 v2.6.26-rc2..v2.6.26: 48 v2.6.27-rc2..v2.6.27: 65 v2.6.28-rc2..v2.6.28: 67 v2.6.29-rc2..v2.6.29: 50 v2.6.30-rc2..v2.6.30: 44 v2.6.31-rc2..v2.6.31: 35 v2.6.32-rc2..v2.6.32: 74 v2.6.33-rc2..v2.6.33: 31 v2.6.34-rc2..v2.6.34: 32 v2.6.35-rc2..v2.6.35: 8
