Title:
  Ubuntu mainline git repo not updated for v4.10 kernels

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hey lovely Ubuntu maintainers!

  I've been compiling my own mainline kernels for a while now due to
  running with a few additional hardware specific patches for my system.
  I've been using the mainline kernel instructions from
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ .

  However starting with Kernel v4.10, the Ubuntu git repo doesn't seem
  to contain the needed branches for this to work any more. For example,
  trying to get v4.10.9 fails:

      $ git clone --branch v4.10.9 
git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack
      Cloning into 'mainline-crack'...
      fatal: Remote branch v4.10.9 not found in upstream origin

  but cloning anything from the v4.9.x series works fine:

      $ git clone --branch v4.9.10 
git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack
      Cloning into 'mainline-crack'...
      remote: Counting objects: ...

  The particular instructions for building v4.10.9 are at
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10.9/ , and don't
  seem to be any different from any earlier releases, so I'm guessing
  that branches are not hitting the ubuntu mainline-crack repository at
  all.

  This may be the entirely wrong place to report this bug, in which case
  I would *love* your advice on where I should be fielding this.

  Many, many thanks!

  ~ Paul
