Any comments? Could we add ext4/jbd2 to mm tree for a wider testing?


ext4 developers should create a git tree with the consensus-accepted patches.

That way Linus can pull as soon as the merge window opens, Andrew is guaranteed to have the latest in his -mm tree, and users and other kernel hackers can easily follow the development without having to gather scattered patches from lkml.


We do maintain a quilt(akpm) style patches on http://ext2.sf.net, the latest patches are always at http://ext2.sourceforge.net/48bitext3/patches/latest/

We thought about doing git initially, still open for that doing do, if it's more preferable by Linus or Andrew. Just thought it's a lot easiler for non git user to pull the patches from a project website.

Thanks, Mingming
