“mc” == “merge candidate”, for want of a better name. This tree
holds the patches which are slated for inclusion into Linus’s tree
in the short-term.
As Linus is offline for a week we should expect that the
contents of -mc1 will be merged into kernel bitkeeper around April
12.
2.6.5-mm1 will consist of all of 2.6.5-mc1 plus other patches.
The separation point is “mc.patch” in the -mm series
file–everything before mc.patch is part of both the -mc and -mm
kernels and everything after mc.patch is in -mm only.
The -mc series probably won’t live for very long–I’m releasing
it so that people can prepare patches against what Linus’s kernel
will look like when he returns.
