Hello,

shouldn't " at the tip of one of your branches" better written as " at the top of one of your branches".

BTW one question: I run a simple test unit (only build tests) against the latest git tree, which is updated with "git pull" once a day.

If I want to make some tests with a previous kernel version - say v2.6.20 and switch then back to HEAD to continue with my common test suite, would the following be ok : ?

$> git checkout v2.6.20 $> <do something useful with it> $> git reset

Thanks for an answer
