Hello,

shouldn't " at the tip of one of your branches" better written as " at the top of one of your branches".

BTW one question: I run a simple test unit (only build tests) against the latest git tree, which is updated with "git pull" once a day.

If I want to make some tests with a previous kernel version - say v2.6.20 and switch then back to HEAD to continue with my common test suite, would the following be ok : ?

$> git checkout v2.6.20

This will change HEAD to be a detached checkout of v2.6.20

$> <do something useful with it>
$> git reset

This will not change HEAD back.

something like this perhaps?

$> MY_HEAD=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD)
$> git checkout v2.6.20
$> <...>
$> git reset --hard $MY_HEAD

no doubt there is a more cunning method ...
