 From your "linux" directory do:
 	cd ..
	mkdir 2.6.12-rc3
	cd 2.6.12-rc3
	mkdir .git
	cp -rl ../linux/.git/object .git/objects
	TREE_HEAD=`cat-file commit a2755a80f40e5794ddc20e00f781af9d6320fafb | head -n 1 | cut -f 2 -d " "`
	echo "$TREE_HEAD" > .git/HEAD
	read-tree $TREE_HEAD
	checkout-cache -a
	update-cache --refresh

And you should have a 2.6.12-rc3 tree, all ready to commit new changes
into.

Or at least that's how my wrapper scripts do it, I haven't converted
them over to the "easier" git-pasky commands yet :)

thanks,
