Not really documented AFAIK, except what Andrew pulls into his -mm tree for testing. His announcements [used to] list which (git or other) trees that he has merged, along with non-tree patches. Now that is just in the patch-list file, e.g., see ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc3/2.6.18-rc3-mm2/patch-list and then search for "git-" to see which git trees it contains. If you go down the maintainer's hierarchy, it gets more fuzzy. :) Jeff Garzik pulls the wireless tree from John Linville and several net driver trees from Francois Romieu, e.g. And Jeff pulls SATA patches from Tejun Heo. DaveM pulls net patches from Yoshifuji etc. James Bottomley usually maintains 2 SCSI git trees: one for 2.6.current-rc fixes and one for 2.6.next merges. He recently documented that in email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most kernel git trees can be seen at www.kernel.org/git/. Most kernel patch trees (git or other) are now listed in the MAINTAINERS file.
