no. I simply need an "easy" way to port my development to the latest
stable kernels.

What I would like to have is:
- my code resides in the trunk (approx. 20 files)
- the whole kernel in the repository as a branch to my code
- whenever a new kernel appears I would like to simply switch the
  kernel code beneath my code.

Does something like this make sense? Or are there better approaches?

Thanks!

Lukas
