Subject: How to checkout a tag?
Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2006 06:47:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4524E2D5.3030907@garzik.org> (raw)
Sometimes I receive a kernel patch based off an older version of the
kernel, for example a 2.6.18 patch when the current kernel is 2.6.19-rc1.
I would like to create a branch starting at 2.6.18, merge the patch, and
then merge up to the current kernel.
How does one check out a tag, or create a branch based on a tag's
starting point?
Jeff
