However, you can go back to 2.6.19 and apply the 2.6.19.2 patch on top of it: git reset --hard v2.6.19 bzip2 -dc patch-2.6.19.2.bz2 | patch -p1 > And, let's say I've written some new code, and then a new kernel version > comes out (let's say 2.6.20), and I want to switch to that new version. > I would just need to do a normal git pull against torvalds/linux-2.6.git ? Git would indeed try to merge the new code. Have a look at Jeff Garzik's "Kernel Hackers' Guide to git": http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html Erik -- They're all fools. Don't worry. Darwin may be slow, but he'll eventually get them. -- Matthew Lammers in alt.sysadmin.recovery
