you can currently see the status of each testbuild Stephen and his team did.
linux-next specials
The trees master branch will rebase on an almost daily basis
(maybe slower at the start).
It consists of subsystem git an quilt trees. The merge log is
in its Next/merge.log file
and Next/quilt-import.log
accordingly the imports log of the quilt trees.
In Next/Trees you can find an onverview of the currently
included trees (see also Included trees).
Between each merge the tree was built with allmodconfig for x86_64 and
powerpc
(by Stephen Rothwell only currently).
The tree is also tagged with a pattern next-YYYYMMDD while the
current tag is
also used for the kernel version (via the localversion-next file
machanism).

About
In short the linux-next git tree is the merge of all of the developer and
maintainers trees, much like the -mm tree is today. There are
some automated buildtest and maintainers get notification on
merge and buildproblems. For a more detailed explanation please have a look at
the initial announcement of linux-next.
