Maintainer-tree
After a patch is accepted by the subsystem maintainer it is added to
his/her kernel tree.
Most of the time a maintainer tree simply feeds a more generic maintainer
tree on top of it, for example changes in the usb-gadget-tree are
incorporated into the more generic usb-tree.
During the next merge-window the top maintainer-trees are merged into the
main linux-tree by Linus.
Between merge-windows these changes can also be found in the linux-next
tree, in which most maintainer-trees are represented.
Linux-next shows what will probably be merged during the next merge-window
and can be used for example for testing purposes.
