GIT tags

GIT tags

[Iqbal]

Hi, 

I see that the kernel is advanced from 2.6.23-rc8 to 2.6.23. 
When I do a git-tag -l, at the end I can only see 2.6.23-rc4 and not 2.6.23 or any tags between these two.

So, what I understand is "this list doesn't mess up with the tags", the tags are coming from Linus/kernel.org. 
And, there is no hard fast rule that tags are always updated.

Pl. correct me If I my understanding is wrong.

Also,

How can I get the date when I did the last git-pull/git-fetch?
If there are any good pointers on versioning please pass it on.

Thanks, 
Iqbal

linux-omap has not yet pushed the tags... maybe Tony will do it in the
next push.

True. You need to do "git fetch tags" for upstream. Looks like Tony
had not fetched tags from kernel.org.

If you are not messing with your master branch then it will also point
you the latest pulled commit and ofcourse date for that commit.

If you mean the kernel versioning scheme then there are various
discussion threads and lwn.net articles/presentations might help.

Sorry, sometimes I forget to do git-pull --tags from the mainline tree.
I'll update the tags in linux-omap tree shortly.
