I understand this, and it is one of several reasons why I prefer git to other version control systems. However, I thought there would be a single official kernel repository even if git didn't require it. Junio explained to me that both yours and the stable one are official for different purposes. I think I will use the stable one because it is current enough for my needs.

True. It might help several branches coordinate development if a commit could be marked as "equivalent" to another commit so that, if both were involved in a merge, one could be thrown out.
