Hello, Ingo,
I took the precaution of rebuilding my linux-2.6-tip from scratch as follows:
544 mkdir linux-2.6-tip
545 cd linux-2.6-tip
546 git-init-db
547 git-remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
548 git-remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
549 git-remote update
550 git-checkout tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon
The "git-checkout" command complained as follows:
warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born.
warning: Forcing checkout of tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon.
Checking 24254 files out...
100% (24254/24254) done
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
Cannot detach HEAD
In addition, the kernel/rcutorture.c file does not have the "stutter"
changes in it after doing this checkout.
Did I mess something up? Am I working with a too-old version of git
(git version 1.5.2.5)? Or has git simply taken a deep and personal
disliking to me? ;-)
My next step will be to try a more recent version of git. In parallel,
I will just re-do the patch on top of my patch stack.
Thanx, Paul
PS. I am assuming that the repeated messages from git-update of
the following form are expected behavior when there are tags:
* refs/tags/tip-x86-xsave-2008-05-26_08_54_Mon: storing tag 'tip-x86-xsave-2008-05-26_08_54_Mon' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
