Hi Jeff,

That would be the right branch for DTC, but sadly the master branch doesn't 
contain the 
actual commit that was tagged as the v1.4.2 release. v1.4.2 tags this commit:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dtc/dtc.git/commit/?
h=v1.4.2&id=ec02b34c05be04f249ffaaca4b666f5246877dea[1] 

Its parent commit is in the master branch, but it isn't. So simply mirroring 
the master 
branch wouldn't be enough, you'd need to include the v1.4.2 tag specifically. 
I've CC'd David 
Gibson who tagged DTC v1.4.2 in case he has input or can rectify this (which 
would 
probably be either a rebase & force push of the last 2 commits on the master 
branch atop 
v1.4.2, or a new release).

Thanks,
    Paul
