linux-stable.git/scripts/setlocalversion, branch linux-2.6.14.y Linux kernel stable tree [PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based upon the git commit 2005-08-10T19:11:23+00:00 Ryan Anderson ryan@michonline.com 2005-07-31T08:57:49+00:00 aaebf4332018980fef4e601d1b5a6e52dd9e9ae4 If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.
