Ralf's tree only synces up every now and then. Usually only ceertain part
sync up actually. Some of the fixes he does in "other" parts of the tree
don't go in. Or they shoudl  go in but are over looked. It is easy to miss
a file when you 10,000+ of them.

Well it synces with linus tree very well but he has a full blown tree in
CVS. I know that pcmcia is not in the tree since I compared both trees. I
keep ralphs tree as well as linus tree on my machine here. Then I do diffs
to compare the two. I compare both trees from time to time to make sure
they are in sync enough.
