Some other commits for 2.6.27 also show a 2.6.26-rc from git-describe (e.g. my 3a078876caee). For my own investigation, I did a 'git-checkout v2.6.26' and looked at the code to see the patch had not been applied yet. Is there an easier way to definitively say commit X is/is not in tagged release Y? -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com
