git checkout extraversion

Hi,

Is it possible -- and if so: how? -- to checkout specific kernel extraversion?

Example:

git checkout -b my2.6.39.3 2.6.39.3

This does not work as there's no such tag "2.6.39.3" (only "2.6.39").

I temporarily did it by manually patching 2.6.39 to .3.

ketchup didn't help (until I noticed -- browsing manually -- http is a redirect to https for kernel.org).

Thanks and cheers

You need to have the stable tree

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

Linus tree does not contain the stable tags.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

That's an easy solution. Pitty, it was so hard to find.

Cheers
