Why doesn't the Linus tree have tags for the minor version updates of the kernel, ie, 3.18.1, 3.18.2 etc? If i do: $ git tag | grep 3\.18 The result is: v3.18 v3.18-rc1 v3.18-rc2 v3.18-rc3 v3.18-rc4 v3.18-rc5 v3.18-rc6 v3.18-rc7
You need to add the stable tree if you want those tags too. I always
forget the invocation of most git commands, such as the command to add
remotes, but this is my config:
$ grep stable .git/config
[remote "linux-stable"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/linux-stable/*
Hope this helps,
