Actually, I think it was a problem interacting with the weird things which
`git bisect' does with .kernelrelease.

bix:/usr/src/git26> git bisect start
bix:/usr/src/git26> git bisect bad v2.6.15
bix:/usr/src/git26> git bisect good v2.6.14
Bisecting:    2705 revisions left to test after this
bix:/usr/src/git26> cat .kernelrelease 
2.6.16-rc2-g6bd0e10e
bix:/usr/src/git26> make kernelrelease
2.6.14-gref: ref

That's cute, but it wasn't that..
