Errm, no. Development happens on Linus current tree or the particular
development tree/branch of a particular subsystem. In this case

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git smp/hotplug

which is empty right now, but about to be filled up again. Start against
Linus HEAD for now.
