So you've just confirmed that no such specific documentation exists, or
can exist, because Linux has not yet officially transitioned to BitKeeper.
This also points out it will be some time before the scalability and
usability of BitKeeper, or the willingness of the Linux leaders to submit
to the discipline of such a tool can be proven.
Gee, Terry, this seems eerily familiar. Who else do we know that ran
through every existing source code control system on the planet but
refused to submit to any of them himself?
