The '+' doesn't necessarily always mean there are additional changes since scripts/setlocalversion will return -00000-EXTRAVERSION when we're at a release. So when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, this patch would, for example, create the version 2.6.32-rc3+00000-rc3. Perhaps we should suppress setlocalversion's output if git describe doesn't have a 7-character trailing hash prefixed with 'g'? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
