But you need to mirror it first. The version we have right know works 
because you have this tarball in the buildroot mirrors:
http://sources.buildroot.net//knock-7666f2e86e18d482eaad5fe1fea46d87d80b0555.tar.gz

If you try to get that file from git, it fails with:

So, in order to bump the version you need to put the new tarball in the 
mirrors first.
