Sorry, but you can't base a branch on linux-next itself (since
linux-next - and many of the trees it merges - rebases every day). If
you want a branch included in linux-next, it needs to be based on some
stable tree/branch, almost always Linus Torvald's tree.

Also, what I need is a branch that I can fetch every day (so its name
must not change) and all you do is update that branch to any newer
version if/when you are satisfied that it is ready for merging.

Also, I would like a git URL that does not require a github account ...
