This may be how things have evolved, but I am not sure that this was
ever
formally approved by the OFA (moving the kernel drivers "trunk" to a git
tree on kernel.org).
And there are actually other components that are part of the OFA SVN
trunk that are not
part of Roland's git tree, SDP, local_sa cache, etc.
So right now we have some components in SVN, some in Roland's git tree,
hopefully we can agree on what "the development process" for OFA is at
the developer's
summit, right now things are a bit confused.
