I'm confused as to how the different trees and branches merge back to
Torvalds' tree (I'm interested in particular in drm), and I'm not sure
which branch you want me to rebase on in the drm-misc tree [1],
especially since all of them are older than drm-next [2].

I'll try to rebase on drm-misc-fixes (currently at 4da5caa6a6f82cda3193)
as it sounds about right, but it doesn't apply at all, so it'll take
a little while.

Could you give me a quick explanation or point me to a doc/page that
explains how the various trees and branches get merged?
I googled a bit and found this doc [4] by Jani, but it doesn't mention
drm-misc for instance, so I'm not sure how up-to-date and
non-intel-specific it is.

Looking at this page, something just occurred to me: did you mean
drm-fixes [3], instead of one of the branches on drm-misc?

Cheers,
  Eric
