I only update that when I have patches ready for Linus to pull.

The route for patches is:
  Email to dm-devel at redhat.com.

  Captured here:
    https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dm-devel/list/?state=*
    (Patchwork state = New)

  Pulled into my working directory (quilt) here:
    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/
and also copied here:
    ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/patches/2.6-unstable/editing/patches/
(sometimes kernel.org is slower syncing changes)
  (Patchwork state = Under Review)

  Pulled into linux-next git.
  (Patchwork state = Awaiting Upstream)

  Finally when a batch is ready to send to Linus, a branch is
created here:
  git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-2.6-dm.git/
for Linus to pull.

  Pulled into Linus's tree.
  (Patchwork state = Accepted + Archived)


Joe's patches aren't quite ready to enter this workflow yet.  But look out
for them on dm-devel soon.
