It's the "appropriate one" depending on what you want to do :) I use my own tree as it's easier for me to do so, and use Linus's tree to send him patches from my tree. And I am routinely lost in a maze of bk trees, all a bit different... > Also, I don't understand the nomenclature used for these kernels.

The -bk patchsets are made nightly against Linus's bk tree. They are placed on kernel.org. They provide a way for people who are not using Linus's tree to keep in sync with him in a daily manner. I'm starting to add in the -bk patches into my tree (that's the above link) to keep up in sync with Linus's tree a bit easier due to the long time between releases that has been happening. I've not put the -bk releases into the usb-2.5 tree yet, as I didn't want to disturb it without knowing if the -bk imports would work well or not. In short, I'll take patches against my tree, Linus's bk tree (the -bk releases), or usually against a "clean" release (like 2.5.70).
