But your above assessment is incomplete. It is not because developers don't want to clone two different trees that tools/perf is a success. Or may be it's a factor but I suspect it to be very minimal. I can script git commands if needed. It is actually because both kernel and user side are sync in this scheme. > Let's wait and see then.
