Use the bb-kernel it's where all the released stuff ends up..  The
"linux-dev" is more of a dumping ground, that get's meld'ed over to
other repo's..

3.8.13-bone68 tag should exist.. (github doesn't show them "all" after
a few hundred are pushed..)

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/tree/3.8.13-bone68

the only problem, the "scripts" directory is always out of date with the tag's..

Just meld the ./scripts/ directory from:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel/tree/master/scripts
