Subject: [PATCH] Linux 3.8-merge version information
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:06:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50C72FCC.8010401@hartkopp.net> (raw)
As the automatically generated git version information is misleading in the
merge window, name the kernel in the merge window as 3.8-merge .
This 'merge' version information helps to not interfere with 3.7-stable git
versions in the bootloader (grub) selection until 3.8-rc1 is tagged.
