 SCM (Source Code Management) Repository:
 Primary repository:
	 git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git
 Backup repository:

 Note: the GitHub repository may contain temporary development branches too.
 The kernel.org repository contains master (current development) and stable/*
 (maintenance) branches only. All master or stable/* changes are always pushed
 to both repositories at the same time.
 Repository Branches: 'git branch -a'
	 Master Branch:
	 - Continuously developed, no feature freeze or translation freezes.
	 - Day-to-day status is: 'it works for me'. This means that its
	 normal state is useful but not well tested.
	 Stable Branches:
	 - Public releases.
	 - Branch name: stable/v<major>.<minor>.
	 - Created from the 'master' branch.
	 - The release candidates and final release are always based
 on the stable branch.
	 - Maintenance releases are part of, and belong to, their respective
	 stable branch. As such, they are tags(<major>.<minor>.<maint>) and
	 not branches of their own. They are not part of, visible in, or
	 have anything to do with the 'master' development branch. In git
	 terminology: maintenance releases are not reachable from 'master'.
	 - When initially cloned (as with the 'git clone' command given above),
	 these branches are created as 'remote tracking branches' and are
	 only visible by using the -a or -r options to 'git branch'. To
	 create a local branch, use the desired tag with this command:
	 'git checkout -b v2.29.2 v2.29.2'
 Tags: 'git tag'
	 - v<version> tag is created in the stable branch for every release.
	 - v<version>-start is created in the master branch to start work on the next release.
	 - All tags are signed by the maintainer's PGP key.
WORKFLOW EXAMPLE:
 Development Releases
 (Master Branch) (Stable/vX.Y Branch)
 - Sync latest translations
 from translationproject.org
 - Tag v<X.Y+1>-devel - Fork from master to stable/v<X.Y> branch
 - Code stabilization
 - RC1 (Tag v<X.Y>-rc1)
 - Backport bug fixes
 - RC2 (Tag v<X.Y>-rc2)
 - po/ and po-man/ translations available on
 translationproject.org/
 - Wait 7-17 days for translators
 - Sync latest translations
 - Backport bug fixes
 - Final release v<X.Y> (Tag v<X.Y>)
 ...
 - Release v<X.Y>.1
 ...
 - Release v<X.Y>.2
