The difference is v2.6.27 is a tag by Linus, v2.6.27-omap1 is the first patchset of omap patches on top of Linus' v2.6.27. If we need to add more omap specific fixes on top of that, we'll tag v2.6.27-omap2 and so on. > On a more general note, is there documentation somewhere that > describes the kernel development process, and how tags are used (or > not) to identify particular stability points in the development > lifecycle of a particular tree (like linux-omap)? There are various git howto sites, also read Documentation/Submit*. I'm not aware of any docs that would describe the -rc tags and merge windows, but I'm sure something like that exists somewhere :) Anybody got a link?
