While I'm sure this is fine for folks who can do the guess work do we really want to live with trees like these on MAINTAINERS ? The MAINTAINERS file doesn't let us specify branches required, so perhaps it should -- if we want to live with these ? Curious, = how many other git are there with a similar situation ? The xen project web site actually lists [3] Konrad's xen git tree [4] for development as the primary development tree, that probably should be updated now, and likely with instructions to clone only the linux-next branch ?
