SCSI "staging" tree for linux-next?
Hi James,
we're past -rc5 and no SCSI patches have been collected for 3.16 yet, despite a lot of patches including a lot of reviewed ones pending on the list.
I'd really love to get at least some testing for all the work that sometimes has been pending for months in linux-next and would offer to put together a tree of reviewed patches for linux-next. Is this fine with you?
Cheers,
Christoph

Seconded. Having a staging tree would make my life _so_ much easier.

+1. I thought this was already agreed upon at LSF anyways..?

OK, I think we can do this easily. Send me your staging branches and I'll pull them into a global staging branch and merge it with for-next in linux-scsi ... this will ensure we don't get yelled at for duplicate commits causing merge rejections in linux-next. Since staging will be volatile and for the purposes of testing patches on upstream track, we don't need signed tags or anything.

Ping ... Git URL, anyone?
I thought this was something you really wanted and an essential component to making your lives easier?
Like I said, just the URL will work for a staging tree, I don't need signed tags or commit descriptions ... although if testing by next or Fengguang shows fatal problems, I'll drop the branch.
