Hi Matthias,

>From the related discussion, this looks intended to stop Sashiko from
picking a stale tree as its baseline.

For IPE, I only update next when there are patches queued, so it can
remain unchanged for several releases. Contributors should normally
base their work on Linus' master rather than next. Naming next here
could therefore lead to the same stale-baseline problem.

I also looked at your Sashiko PR. When the default HEAD is a strict
ancestor of Linus' master, would Sashiko use Linus' master instead?
If so, that's the behavior we want for IPE, and there would be no
need to add next here.
