We have currently our own branch to create patches for linux. These patches are send to a sub-system maintainer which integrates them into his own git repository. New patches from other people usually went to linux-next. We have to create patches on top of linux-next unless they are only small bug fixes directly for 2.6.

Other people will also create patches which may affect our code and thus we have to import them too in our codebase. In a perfect world these people will CC: us, but we aren't in a perfect world and we must ensure by our self that we get informed about them. The first approach was to check linux-next before we try to rebase our patches on top of linux-next. This created a large gap until we noticed them or we forgot them at all.

-The new approach is to create a mirror of linux-next on our server, install a small script which parses the commits in post-receive and send mails when there are changes in fails inside drivers/staging/batman-adv. This script is stolen from http://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git. +The new approach is to create a mirror of linux-next on our server, install a small script which parses the commits in post-receive and send mails when there are changes in fails inside net/batman-adv.
