I have vendor provided linux tree which includes some vendor specific code. The tree's top level Makefile has this header:

VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 19 EXTRAVERSION = .2 NAME=Avast! A bilge rat!

so, this is what I want to pull from the repository to see what's different. The thing is that when I go to the Makefile history in the master git repository (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;f=Makefile;h=e3c5eb66ec52dee13127e3b2b83f84c3184bd8be;hb=bce7f793daec3e65ec5c5705d2457b81fe7b5725;pg=1) I don't see a tag for this version, all which is there between 19-rc6 and 20-rc1 are

2006-12-14 Linus Torvalds Linux v2.6.20-rc1 v2.6.20-rc1 2006-12-13 Jeff Dike [PATCH] Fix crossbuilding checkstack 2006-12-12 Samuel Tardieu Use consistent casing in help message 2006-12-10 Oleg Verych [PATCH] kbuild: fix-rR-is-now-default 2006-11-29 Linus Torvalds Linux 2.6.19 v2.6.19 2006-11-16 Linus Torvalds Linux 2.6.19-rc6 v2.6.19-rc6

so, the question is where do I find the tree with the Makefile EXTRAVERSION set to .2?

TIA, vadim
