Why not using the same mainline name convention (v2.6.x) ? I have another question (which is the first one in my previous email), how can I make my working tree a kernel version 2.6.9 for example ? And the last question related to mips git repository, why does kernel v2.2, v2.4, v2.6 are in the same repository ? Why not seperate different major version of the kernel in a seperate repository ?
