Trunk and release are in different repositories and there exists
commits that are in one repo but not in the other so that operations
on trunk with commit id from release repo should not work.

I use the following setup

git remote add bb git://git.openwrt.org/14.07/openwrt.git
git fetch bb
git checkout -b bb --track bb/master

Then local branch bb will track remote Barrier Breaker repo's master branch.

[OpenWrt-Devel] Including git revision commit hash and svn revision id on release announcement.

2014-08-27 Thread Alive4Ever
Hello developers.

Probably you are annoyed by people asking which revision is Barrier Breaker
RC3 or similar, because they want to be able to compile the specific release
theirselves.

To address this issue, I think it would be better to add git revision commit
hash for each Openwrt release announcement. So that, if someone already has a
trunk repository, no need to hassle with cloning repository again just for
applying that relase.  Users will be able to go to specific release just by
issuing git revert  or git reset  in their
local git repository.

I hope next release announcement will include git commit hash and svn revision
number for more convenience.
