OK That one is as follows:

If Benny will tag the branches tips (As he does today) with a
$ git tag -a foo-xxxx

(The difference is the "-a" option. He might also want to add the -m tage_name
 as well)

Then together with this patch the compilation will be "+" less.
As soon as any one has any changes apart from Benny's tag-a he will get a "+"
appended to his Kernel
