Subject: git fetch of 2.6.18-rc5-mm1
Message-ID: <9b53a56d0609041442i2f9e56bao2e4b9f27a86f4d4c@mail.gmail.com>

n00b here.
Per Andrew Morton's release announcement boilerplate, which is:
git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git
v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

I tried:
git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git
v2.6.18-rc5-mm1
When I dropped in my .config and did
#make menuconfig
the tree showed its version as v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 still.

I can get a clean clone of the Linus tree, but not the -mm tree.
Additionally, navigating to
http://kernel.org/git/?o=age
and searching on "smurf" reveals this information:
linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git  Tree imports. The main branch

Request someone help me understand where I'm off track.
