I was wondering how to get that re-started.. It should be technically pretty easy, except I realized that my tree doesn't even have plain 2.6.11 in it. But I just fixed that in the tree, since I need such a baseline myself for my next release.. Anyway, I just pushed out a kernel tree that contains a tag of a _tree_ that points to the tree at the point of 2.6.11. I also had to teach fsck-cache about the fact that you can give it any kind of object to start your references at, and to make fsck-cache happy, you need to git-fsck-cache --unreachable HEAD v2.6.11 to tell it that the kernel tree now has an unconnected tree (described by the tag "v2.6.11-tree", and I made the appropriate entry for it in .git/refs/tags). I also updated git-prune-script to not remove these kinds of things. With this, it should be trivial to create snapshots with git-diff-tree -p v2.6.11 HEAD or similar. Linus
