Hi,

I've finally gotten off my butt and made my quilt trees of patches into
a "semi-proper" git tree to make it easier for people to test them.

I'm now pushing the patches I accept into the stable queues into the git
tree here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git

Great!

I'll push them out in chunks, as I accept them, and when I do a "real"
-rc release. Right now the HEAD of each branch will have a -rc1 tag on
them, just because it makes it a bit easier on my end.

Note these branches WILL get rebased. All the time. So don't count on
them to contain anything that will stick around, UNTIL a real stable
release happens.

Guenter, I hope this helps with your testing, is there anything that I
can do here to make it easier for you?

Yes, it does. I'll see if I can switch to fetching the branches from there
in the next couple of days. I'm all happy ...

Thanks!

Guenter
