Right now, if you look, they all point to the same thing, so it doesn't
matter :)

tty-linus is for patches to go to Linus this kernel release.
tty-next is for patches to go to Linus the next kernel release.

Both tty-linus and tty-next show up in linux-next and are never rebased.

tty-testing is for patches that are being considered for tty-next, it
does not show up in linux-next and sometimes is rebased if things go
wrong with the patches.

Hope this helps,
