Hi all,

I currently have a copy of the kernel TuxOnIce git tree, and the latest tag is 2.6.33.

I also have added linus tree as a remote branch (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git).

What I want to do is to make a patch of the TuxOnIce changes to apply to the linus' 2.6.33. The problem is that the linus tree keeps advacing, obviously, and is now at 2.6.34-rc1.

So what I've been trying to do is to make a diff against the 2.6.33 tag of linus' tree. Is this possible?

Thank you very much, Pedro
