The linux-5.17.y tag looks bogus.

The linux-5.17.y tag looks bogus.

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Hi,

I just noticed that the stable repository has the linux-5.17.y tag and
no branch with the linux-5.17.y name. That tag looks like a copy of
Linus' v5.17.

I guess this is a mistake. On my side git refused to push the
linux-5.17.y branch because it already had a tag with the same name.

Could you please remove it?

Sebastian

Ah, I see that now.  That's odd.  I've deleted it, I don't know how that
got created, maybe our scripts messed up.  Something went "odd" on the
release that git.kernel.org told me about, but I have to wait until some
people wake up in the Americas before I can figure out what actually
happened.

thanks,
