linux-next/stable

This is just the place in Linus' tree that I started from for today's version of linux-next (this only ever moves forward).

Quoted 1 line

linux-next/master

This is the complete linux-next tree for today (this is effectively rebased every release).

Quoted 1 line

linux-next/history

This is just all the linux-next trees linked together (ignore this - it is not a useful kernel tree).

See above. Also see http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/

To have a tree included in linux-next it must be based on a tree that is not rebased (or if it does rebase you can guarantee that your tree is rebased on top of it) that is included in linux-next already. In practise this means "Linus' tree" unless you have dependencies on someone else's tree.
