PATCH 1/1 SQUASHME: DEVONLY: pnfs: Add -pnfs suffix to EXTRAVERSION
The official way of adding a tree identifier tag to the Kernel version-string is a presence of a localversion-* file next to the Makefile. It's content is appended to the Linus supplied version-string from Makefile.
After this patch the output is the same as before xxx-2.6.35-rc2-pnfs But is a more comfortable way to manage it.
(The appended "+" in post 2.6.35-rc Kernels is not resolved with
this. But I have sent a patch to Linus to fix this issue)

OK That one is as follows:
If Benny will tag the branches tips (As he does today) with a
$ git tag -a foo-xxxx
(The difference is the "-a" option. He might also want to add the -m tage_name
as well)
Then together with this patch the compilation will be "+" less. As soon as any one has any changes apart from Benny's tag-a he will get a "+" appended to his Kernel
