It is part of [`linux-next`](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/).

## `rust-dev`

[`rust-dev`](https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/tree/rust-dev) is an experimental branch for integration purposes. It is a queue for patches that "look good enough".

Its intended use cases are:

- Finding merge/apply conflicts as early as possible.
- Providing a common base for development that requires features that are not yet in mainline or `rust-next`, i.e. giving early access to features. This may include Rust-related changes from other subsystems.
- Providing extra testing to patches by making them easily available to more developers.

Note that this branch may be updated/rebased frequently and it might be gone in the future.

## `rust`

[`rust`](https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/tree/rust) was the original branch where development happened for two years before Rust support was merged into the kernel.
