Yes one option is to append the branch name in MAINTAINERS like this:

+T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux.git next

The other option is to get the branch name from linux-next, whose Next/Trees
file contains this line:

kvms390 git 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux.git#next

Then the robot knows patches should be applied to the 'next' branch.

So for most trees, there is no need to specify the branch name in the
MAINTAINERS file. Not only it's not necessary, but also helps avoid
double configuration.

Thanks,

Don't you also need the branch the patches should apply against, or am

Thanks! The background is, the 0day patch test script relies on the
information in MAINTAINERS to decide which tree it can apply the LKML
patches to. So I need to add some missing git URLs to the MAINTAINERS
file.

I wonder about the context? Your mails don't seem to have made it to

Thanks! The background is, the 0day patch test script relies on the
information in MAINTAINERS to decide which tree it can apply the LKML
patches to. So I need to add some missing git URLs to the MAINTAINERS
file.

Thanks,

Don't you also need the branch the patches should apply against, or am
I misunderstanding what you're trying to do?

Yes one option is to append the branch name in MAINTAINERS like this:

+T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux.git next

The other option is to get the branch name from linux-next, whose Next/Trees
file contains this line:

kvms390 git 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux.git#next

Then the robot knows patches should be applied to the 'next' branch.

So for most trees, there is no need to specify the branch name in the
MAINTAINERS file. Not only it's not necessary, but also helps avoid
double configuration.
