So you've just confirmed that no such specific documentation exists, or can exist, because Linux has not yet officially transitioned to BitKeeper. This also points out it will be some time before the scalability and usability of BitKeeper, or the willingness of the Linux leaders to submit to the discipline of such a tool can be proven. Gee, Terry, this seems eerily familiar. Who else do we know that ran through every existing source code control system on the planet but refused to submit to any of them himself? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
