ALSA branches ============= master - just stub with this text build - build code (not included to upstream, can touch only alsa/ tree) mirror - mirrored code (from upstream) release - merged build & mirror trees for packaging Branch release ============== Please, use --log for the git merge command to show the "subject" of commits. It might be handy to define these git aliases in your .git/config file: [alias] bmerge = !git checkout release && git merge --log build mmerge = !git checkout release && git merge --log mirror
