Dear Stephen Warren,

OK, that's fine; I'll rely solely on patch email then. I just figured on saving Albert some git am work, seeing as how many other single SoCs are handled via git pull already.
Are there? Which for example?
Tegra does this for sure. There are also u-boot-ti.git, u-boot-samsung.git, and u-boot-marvell.git that I believe are for the same purpose.
All these handle a number of processors - note that (with the exception of tegra) these are explicitly named as vendor trees, collingting all processors from some silicon vendors. Have a closer look at the imx (Freescale) or TI or Samsung or Marvell trees - all these handle a pretty large number of different SoCs.
We can discuss to add a Broadcom repository one day - but only after it turns out that there is sufficiently large traffic here on the list to justify another split. Given that Broadcom has essentially zero coverage in mainline U-Boot, there is some way to go before we reach such a point.
Just for a single SoC it makes no sense to set up a new custodian tree.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
