But that is not really a branch, it's more a category.  Right now, we have
things like:

linus--mainline--2.4
linus--pre--2.4
linus--mainline--2.5

I expect to see:

alan--mainline--2.4
alan--pre--2.4

etc. in the future.

What would you have me do, linux--linus-mainline--2.4?  What makes that any
better than what I'm doing now?  We all know it's Linux already; what does
it buy *anyone* to repeat it?

And why is it such a big deal?
