Thanks, I'm still trying to learn the submission process...

Slightly off-topic, but when you push kernel.org/.../acme/linux.git, do
you push --tags?

If I do a fresh clone, checkout perf/core or urgent, build perf,
PERF-VERSION-GEN first uses git to find the version number, then the
Makefile.  But in acme/linux.git, the latest version tag looks to match
the master branch version: 3.2: so I get a 3.2-reporting version on
what should be 4.12-rc4 (perf/core's current Makefile):

$ tools/perf/perf --version
perf version 3.2.gd15e591

Is this an acme/linux.git tree maintenance issue, or should
PERF-VERSION-GEN be modified to compare versions gotten from git vs.
the Makefile, and just use the higher one?

Thanks,

Kim
