I wanted to get a clean 2.6.12-rc6-git8 tree, so I looked up the commit id (3edea4833a1efcd43e1dff082bc8001fdfe74b34) at <http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/>, updated my .git repository with
rsync -a --delete --verbose --stats --progress \ rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/ \ .git/
then did cg-export /tmp/xyz <commit-id>
Strangely, the Makefile doesn't match what I would get by applying patch-2.6.13-rc6-git8.bz2. In the exported Makefile,
EXTRAVERSION =-rc6
whereas from the patch, Makefile (line 151 of the diff) has
EXTRAVERSION = -rc6-git8
Was this a case of hand-editing the diff or did I not use the cg/git commands correctly?
