I don't want to be doing snapshots against 2.6.11.9 just because that happened to get tagged more recently than 2.6.12-rc4. Time is an illusion; especially so when looking at branches which may not even have been merged. The tag I want is the one which refers to a commit which is made by yourself and is accessible from the current HEAD in the lowest number of steps. And I don't _care_ if you tagged it 'Woozy Numbat'. -- dwmw2
