I want to be able to work with git commands with the Linux kernel versions according to what I see in www.kernel.org, and I encounter a difficulty. The following example demonstrates the difficulty I encounter. I see under: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ 13 sub version of the 4.1 kernel: 4.1.1 4.1.2 ..... .... 4.1.13 For each one there is a correspoinding ChangeLog ( ChangeLog-4.1.3, ChangeLog-4.1.4, and so on) I know of course that I can find the commits for each such subversion by looking in the corresponding ChangeLog. However, I want to be able to work with the different subversions of 4.1 (for example) with git. This means to navigate with git commands from, let's say, 4.1.13 to 4.1.5, and also go back and forth with git commends to 4.0 and earlier versions. And also of course see the commits by "git show", see the history by "git log", and in general run all git commands. However, when I run in Linus tree (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) the following: git tag | grep 4.1 I get: v4.1 v4.1-rc1 v4.1-rc2 v4.1-rc3 v4.1-rc4 v4.1-rc5 v4.1-rc6 v4.1-rc7 v4.1-rc8 So these 8 rc subversions of 4.1 do not seem to correspond the the 1..13 subversions that I see in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git as mentioned below. Any ideas? Regards, Kevin _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
