Don't think that's worth it either for this document, as those that want
to bisect -next most of the time will already have retrieved next via
git. And again: providing such a pointer for -next, but not explaining
how to retrieve mainline (which is left to the other document linked
prominently at the top) IMHO makes no sense either.
