Hello, As has been pointed out elsewhere, it is very difficult to find the exact git tree that corresponds to a kernel release. Currently the problem I am having is that the 11.11 linaro kernel release (linux-linaro-lt-omap_3.1.0-1402.5~oneiric1) works well on my new board, but later kernels do not. While I can download the kernel tarball for 3.1.0-1402.5 from launchpad, I would much prefer to use the git tree that it was produced from. Can anybody tell me exactly which git tree was used to create that kernel, and which tag/branch I should be looking at?
That's a really good question. The answer is that it's this tag and branch:
linux-release-2011-12 http://git.linaro.org/git/landing-teams/leb/ti/kernel.git
Sorry, for 11.11 that's tag linux-release-2011-11-1 -- you can see all the tags here:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=landing-teams/leb/ti/kernel.git;a=summary
Thanks, that is enormously helpful. Though doing a "diff -Nurp" between leb/ti/kernel.git (tag linux-release-2011-11-1) and the tarball that I pulled from launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/overlay/+files/linux-lina...), these two trees aren't exactly the same. They are *mostly* the same, and most of the changes look like they'll be benign to me, but it is a bit disconcerting.
Here was my outline for a possible way to fix this.

Do you have any comments on it? Your views are valuable, since you've experienced the problem we're trying to solve.
