May I suggest - // The minor version number, 'x' in '3.x', of aufs may not always follow the minor version number of the kernel. Because changes in the kernel that cause the use of a new minor version number do not always require changes to aufs. Since aufs has its own minor version number, you may not be able to find a GIT branch in aufs-util for your kernel's exact minor version number. In this case, you should git-checkout the branch for the nearest lower number. For (an unreleased) example: If you are using "linux-3.10" and the "aufs3.10" branch does not exit in this repository, then "aufs3.9", "aufs3.8" or something numerically smaller is the branch for your kernel. Also you can view all branches by $ git branch -a // Mike > What about adding: "The 3.x-rcN branch is to be used with `rc' kernel > versions ONLY" > Thx > > > > > > > J. R.
