To help testing, I always keep all stuff at my -git, under /drivers/media
replicated at v4l-dvb.

It is up to you to keep your own tree. It is generally easier if you have a
mercurial copy of v4l-dvb, since all you need to do to send us new patches is
to ask me to pull from your tree.

If you prefer to migrate to Mercurial, we may host it at Linuxtv if you want.

Ok, I've added 2.6.22 to versions.txt.
