[Now in plain text]
Hi Stephan,
For preparing linux-next is there a specific merge strategy / script foo for pulling branches from same developers repo. So for ARC there's for-curr and for-next, and a lot of times they might have potentially conflicting changes, base lines etc. It seem in linux-next for-curr is added first and then for-next - a very likely case is for-next being significantly behind for-curr with a few straggler changes.
The reason I ask is we want to implement something similar in our existing regression setup - which builds / boot/ test jobs on several platforms but currently only uses my kernel.org repo's for-next - I want to expose both the branches w/o having to explicitly replicate duplicate changes in my for-next from for-curr
Thx, -Vineet
