In each linux-next, there is a file called Next/SHA1s, and in there is a
SHA1 for "origin" - that is the point in Linus' tree that I started for
that day.  I just use the latest available version of Linus' tree each
day.

> For example for next-20110928 I see in Next/quilt-import.log:

For the quilt series, the owner of the series puts a BASE or NEXT_BASE
comment in the series to tell me what their series is based on.  I import
each quilt series staring from that base into a branch and then merge
that branch.

For the git trees, I just fetch and merge them.
