Kay,

My tree on kernel.org (.../aegl/linux-2.6.git) has two branches in refs/heads: release and test. The HEAD symlink points to the release branch.

It seems that a search traverses from HEAD to root, so can only find things in the release branch. I tried clicking on the "test" branch link at the foot of the top-level page before doing the search ... but it still seems to search from HEAD.

Any syntax I'm missing for this search?
