It really is just your Makefile/version commits, and then the commits you merged in to make the release. > > Anyway, if it's unsupported to pull from linux-stable.git master I'll > > change my scripts. > > It's not unsupported, you will just get a copy of Linus's tree there, > delayed by usually a -rc release or so. I'm going to guess that what happened then was I was lucky enough for Linus to have released a new -rc by the time I pulled a new stable. So, then checking out the stable tag would have pointed to the right commit to also checkout the associated commits. Anyway, enough noise over this now. -- - Athanasius = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / http://www.miggy.org/ Finger athan(at)fysh.org for PGP key "And it's me who is my enemy. Me who beats me up.
