Hi, In the Linux kernel tree, commit 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919 is a bit "odd". If I go to look to see what release it was in, I normally do: $ git describe --contains 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919 v3.6-rc1~59^2~56^2~76 However, it really showed up first in the 3.5-rc1 kernel release, as can be seen by doing the following: $ git tag --contains 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919 v3.5 v3.5-rc1 v3.5-rc2 v3.5-rc3 v3.5-rc4 v3.5-rc5 v3.5-rc6 v3.5-rc7 v3.6-rc1 v3.6-rc2 v3.6-rc3 This commit ended up coming into Linus's tree in two different places, both in 3.5-rc1 and in 3.6-rc1, through different merge requests, so it seems to be tricky to figure out when it "first" went in. Asking Linus about this, he tried the following: $ git name-rev --tags 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919 tags/v3.6-rc1~59^2~56^2~76 $ git rev-list 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919..v3.5-rc1 | wc 11415 11415 468015 $ git rev-list 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919..v3.4-rc1 | wc 0 0 0 $ git rev-list 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919..v3.6-rc1 | wc 22279 22279 913439 which shows that there are "less" commits to get from this commit to v3.5-rc1 instead of v3.6-rc1, so something odd is going on here. Any ideas? I can reproduce this right now with git version 1.7.12.116.g31e0100 thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
