Recently the kernel version on the github repository did not match up with the master branch of
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Specifically, github was hosting v4.10-rc5 while master had v4.10-rc8. All the while Linus' mainline was at v4.11-rc1. Was this an anomaly or is there a technical reason please? While writing this I see that perhaps I should have checked the other branches (fixes, next, test). thanks, Tobin.
