OK, with no additional feedback here, Andy and I have discussed and we will
adapt our process by using individual review branches which 0-day can pull from
which are considered transient and mutable. After this, the patches will be
added to the common testing branch, which will now be fast-forward only [1].
After a short period, testing will move to for-next and fixes branches in
preparation for pull-requests, just as before.
Thanks,
1. We may eliminate the testing branch as it may not offer any value over
for-next, but we'll work through at least one release cycle before doing
so.
