[GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 3.3-rc1

[GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 3.3-rc1

[Greg KH]

I tried to create a signed tag for this pull request.  It's call
"driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes" in the repo below, but when I did:
    git request-pull master git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/ driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes > msg.txt

I got the text below, no signed tag with the wording that I added to it
that I could see.  Now I am still using git 1.7.8.3, is that why?  If
so, I'll go build 1.7.9 as I see that is now out today.

Did I mess something up?  I created the tag with:
    git tag -u kroah.com -s driver-core-3.3-rc1-bugfixes driver-core-linus

Could it be that the tag and the branch are at the same point in the
tree right now?  Or something else?

The wording I put in the tag is:
	Here are some patches for the 3.3-rc1 tree.

	It contains the removal of the sysdev code, now that all users
	of it are gone, as well as some sysfs bugfixes that have been
	reported by users.  There are also some documentation updates
	here as well.


All of these have been in the linux-next tree for the past week.

thanks,

Ehh, the older versions never expected people to ask a tag to be pulled in
the first place, so there is no way they would have known to unwrap the
tag and pasted its tag message in the output ;-).

The request-pull script in 1.7.9 has finally received some belated
love. Since mid 2009, it didn't get much updates that improve the user
visible experience.

No, everything looks fine, and I just pulled it.

But your old version of git won't be able to do that pull (or
request-pull) since it doesn't have support for the signed tag
feature. So the signed tag itself works fine, and I can pull from you,
but yes, you need to have a newer version yourself to see how that
works.

Ok, thanks for verifying that I didn't mess anything up on my side.

Heh, fair enough :)

As most of us used our own scripts for this, that makes sense, nice to
see it cleaned up a lot, I'll use it for my requests after I get 1.7.9
installed on my systems...
