Hi Stephen,

I've renamed the topic/core-stuff branch to topic/drm-misc in the
drm-intel.git. I'll leave the old branch around until you've updated
your scripts, please reply when you've done that.

Another thing: Nowadays I have 2-3 special-purpose topic branches per
kernel release, and at least with some of them I think it would be
good to include them into linux-next. Would it be possible for your
scripts to pick up the list of -next branches to pick up dynamically
from some file? That would also simplify things with the
for-linux-next branch, which is an alias to different branches
depending upon where in the release cycle we are.

Thanks, Daniel

I'll get back to you next week about this, OK?

I have updates that branch now.

I can't think of an easy way to do that.  What others do is merge such
branches into a (stably named) branch that I include in linux-next.
When the topic branches get updated, you either just merge them into
the linux-next included branch again, or you reset that branch (to some
upstream) and remerge all the topic branches (like in the case when one
or more is not just fast forwarding or is removed).
