The difference is v2.6.27 is a tag by Linus, v2.6.27-omap1 is the
first patchset of omap patches on top of Linus' v2.6.27.
If we need to add more omap specific fixes on top of that, we'll
tag v2.6.27-omap2 and so on.

There are various git howto sites, also read Documentation/Submit*.
I'm not aware of any docs that would describe the -rc tags and merge
windows, but I'm sure something like that exists somewhere :)
Anybody got a link?
