Assumed your cloned from kernel.org:

    git remote add github https://github.com/torvalds/linux

After that:
  1. "git remote update" will fetch data from both origin and github,
  2. "git merge $(git tag | grep -v rc | sort -n | tail -1)" will
     merge in the latest release, if you don't have it merged already.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
