Pointed "git" at Linus' github.com repository to pull the "-rc6" changes (git pull ). Seems to have worked, except I received no updated tags: the latest tag in my local repo copy is "v3.1-rc4". Is this an expected consequence of doing the initial clone operation from one repo, and then pulling updates from another that, in theory, is identical to the first? If so, is there an officially sanctioned method of switching repositories that doesn't require blowing away the local copy and doing another "git clone"? Thanks. --Bob
