linuxppc_2_5 is, obviously, Linus's 2.5 tree plus PowerPC-related
additions (which will eventually be merged into 2.5 mainline).
linuxppc_2_4 is the stable PowerPC specific 2.4 tree (all, or the
majority, of which has been merged into Marcelo's 2.4 tree, I think).
linuxppc_2_4_devel is where any remaining 2.4-specific development by
Cort is going on, and linuxppc_2_4_benh is Ben's tree (where the really
experimental stuff is). The rsync is just a regular snapshot of the
BitKeeper tree.
