I see that branch now exists ... thanks! :)

Could you clarify the current merge cycle for me, by the way? I know u-boot has switched to 2009.{01,03,05,...} releases, which is a big win from where I sit!, with "rc" tags.
What I'm unclear on is what gets merged for 2009.05 versus later. Are these "next" branches for the '05 release (which hasn't yet hit rc1)? Or for '07 instead?
Yes, I have the same questions. I already tried to ask similar, but didn't get an answer.

Maybe my wording was a little unclear?

Btw.: Now that -next exists, I can't find patch linked above in it, though :(
My approach is that once the merge window closes, new patches that are not bug fixes go into 'next', which is for the release after the current one (in this case 07). When the merge window opens again, next goes to master and the fun starts again. I can't say for sure if this is how all branches are handled, though.
