Hi Stephane,

Thanks for the advice.  I'm not real familiar with git, so I'm probably
doing something wrong.  I went to Linus's git tree on the git web
interface:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=summary

On the right side, is a link to "commit" which goes to:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f57e91682d141ea50d8c6d42cdc251b6256a3755

On that page is a commit number:

commit f57e91682d141ea50d8c6d42cdc251b6256a3755

So I tried going into my perfmon2 git tree and issuing this command:

git diff f57e91682d141ea50d8c6d42cdc251b6256a3755

which results in this:

fatal: bad object f57e91682d141ea50d8c6d42cdc251b6256a3755

What am I doing wrong?

- Corey
