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
