Note that the linux-arm tree is ARM Ltd's tree, and isn't a tree which
feeds directly into Linus' tree.  You can find that via
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/ but I suggest that you use
Linus' tree as a base line unless I have something which conflicts
in my tree.

I maintain three primary branches:
- master, for stuff scheduled for -rc
- devel, for stuff scheduled for the next merge window, and is unstable
  (iow, commits don't have a stable ID, so it is inadvisable to base
   work off this.)
- devel-stable, for stuff scheduled for the next merge window, where the
  commits are immutable.
