Subject: linux-next base Linus tag

Stephen,

If I know a linux-next tag, say next-20110928, how can I extract the
Linus tag you used to start that set of merges for linux-next for?
That is, I am assuming you base your daily linux-next merges on that
day's latest Linus's rc cycle (not just Linus's master tag of that
day). Is that right? If so how can I get that tag?

For example for next-20110928 I see in Next/quilt-import.log:

diff --git a/Next/quilt-import.log b/Next/quilt-import.log
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..a5c7017
--- /dev/null
+++ b/Next/quilt-import.log

So I see some development trees were based circa v3.1 on different rc
cycles, but its unclear to me which one your linux-next was based on
prior to the merge of git trees / quilt trees.
