Documentation - how to apply patches for various trees

Hi,
How to apply the -rc, -git, -mm and the 2.6.x.y (-stable) patches is a quite
frequently asked question on LKML and elsewhere.
Since so many people seem to be confused by this I gathered it ought to be
properly documented once and for all so we a) get more people testing those
trees and b) get asked this question less often.
So, I sat down and wrote such a document.
Below is a patch to add a new file "applying-patches.txt" to Documentation/
This document describes each of the trees and gives examples on how to apply
the various patches.
Looking forward to your feedback (and possible inclusion).
I guess this document could also be placed somewhere on kernel.org and linked
to from the front page so that people downloading the various patches will
have this information available at their fingertips.

+A frequently asked question on the Linux Kernel Mailing List is how to apply
+a patch to the kernel or, more specifically, what base kernel a patch for
+one of the many trees/branches should be applied to. Hopefully this document
+will explain this to
