[openfabrics-ewg] OFED 1.2 Git Tree

[Woodruff, Robert J]

Hi Tziporet,

I started work on creating some patches and testing them against OFED
1.2 
for sean's sa_cache and multicast branches and ran into the following
problem
with the OFED 1.2 git tree. 

I was able to clone the tree, create a branch and apply patches for
sean's multicast
and sa_cache code, but what I now want to be able to do is do a git-diff
of my 
branch against the stock v2.6.20-rc3 kernel so that I can create a
kernel patch
that I can apply to a stock 2.6.20-rc3 kernel for testing.
The problem is that when you updated your tree from 2.6.19 to
2.6.20-rc3, somehow
you do not have the --tag information for any kernel greater than
2.6.19, so there is
no way to create a patch that I can apply to a stock 2.6.20-rc3 kernel
for testing.

i.e,
when I do a git-show-ref --tags against the OFED_1_2 git tree that most
current tag is
2.6.19, and it should be 2.6.20-rc3 since that is the tree that you are
based against. 
If you could fix this, that would be great. 
i.e.,
git-show-refs --tags shows this.
                         .

If I clone the kernel.org git tree and then do a git-show-ref --tags 
is see the following, which is what I expect.
