What are you throughts on starting work from a tree. Most of my work is usually based off of some branch in tip, but sometimes when I'm pulling in patches that are not really related to anything, I just simply grab whatever the latest Linus branch is and start from there.
Is it preferable to instead start from one of the official releases?
