kernel versions

Recently the kernel version on the github
repository did not match up with the master branch of

https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Specifically, github was hosting v4.10-rc5 while master had
v4.10-rc8. All the while Linus' mainline was at v4.11-rc1.

Was this an anomaly or is there a technical reason please? While
writing this I see that perhaps I should have checked the other
branches (fixes, next, test).

thanks,
Tobin.

Hi Tobin,

Recently the kernel version on the github
repository did not match up with the master branch of

branches (fixes, next, test).

These are all managed by different people, and none of them are managed
by any of the linuxppc-dev folk.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
