 The "master" branch follows [Torvalds' Linux repository](http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=summary).

-The "devel" branch is used to stabilize code before its submission to [LKML](mailto:linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org).
+The "char-misc-next" branch follows [GregKH's char-misc repository](http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git;a=summary), "char-misc-next" branch. This latter repository is automatically pulled by linux-next maintainers. Please, use this branch as reference for new developments before its submission to [LKML](mailto:linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org).

 There could be more branches. Their name will indicate to what they are used for.
