Andrew, that workflow is actually meant for
http://git.cmpxchg.org/?p=linux-mmotm.git;a=summary, not Michal's tree
(i.e. the git remote add mmotm <michal's tree> does not make much
sense).  Michal's tree is append-only, so all this precision-rebasing
is unnecessary.

It depends what you want for the base.  What's in linux-next is based
on linux-next, so the latest and greatest.

Michal's -mm tree is based on the latest Linus release, and so more
stable.  Or at least the craziness is contained to mm stuff.
