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.
