Git Bad Object

Git Bad Object

[Tammy]

Hi,

I was looking at the commits in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.14. Seems
all the commits are not in the current git.

For example, if I run 'git show
0b7da0500bbf612fc532358c90aad4497309d61a', I got 'fatal: bad object
0b7da0500bbf612fc532358c90aad4497309d61a'. Why is this the case? I
thought all these commits are committed into the git repository. Thank
you!

Thanks,
Tammy

They aren't all in Linus' git tree, because the stable kernels are not
maintained by him, but by a team of people in another git tree.

The stable aggregate tree will have all those commits in it here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git;a=summary
