Right. I just pushed trace-cmd-v2.7 tag to the new repo ;-)

I need to push the patches. Haven't done that yet. I will tomorrow.

Note, please use the trace-cmd-stable-v2.8 branch. HEAD for master will
soon be holding development code for 2.9, and will be quite unstable.

It's good to have the separation. We plan on working on splitting
KernelShark out of the trace-cmd git repo soon. But I don't think it's
a good idea to make the build of KernelShark depend on trace-cmd being
installed.

:-)  Last year I said KernelShark 1.0 will be released by August.
August came and went and people asked me where KernelShark 1.0 is? I
told them, I did not specify *which* August ;-) But I better not let
that happen again.

With a trace-cmd-v2.7 tag in the main repo, can you make the update?

Thanks Troy!
