Is HEAD for that repo the most recent stable branch, or (as gitweb  
makes it look) Linus's head.  I'd expect a "-stable" repo to point at  
the most recent stable commit, not the most recent development  
commit.  And I'd also expect gitweb's summary page to show the  
shortlog for HEAd.  One of my assumptions are being broken and I  
don't like it.  It leaves me all confused...

(I'd just clone your repo and look for myself, but I'm still pulling  
Linus's tree for the first time and I don't have a fast connection.)
