Hi, In the way the linux kernel is developed every "branch" is a own repo. Here branches are own repos like "net" , "net-next" or "alsa" with own maintainers and own mailing list. Think of them like different subdivisions in a company (also sometimes called "branch"). In most cases these "branches" are own repos, not "git branches". I know it's a bit confusing at first Cheers, -- Richard
