如何使用git切换到特定版本的Linux源代码？

Question

Specifically, I want to switch to the kernel version 2.6.32.41 source code. However, in the output of

git tag -l

it shows the following:

v2.6.32-rc2
v2.6.32-rc3
v2.6.32-rc4
v2.6.32-rc5
v2.6.32-rc6
v2.6.32-rc7
v2.6.32-rc8

Which one of these is 2.6.32.41 linux kernel source?

Answer 1

None of those tags are the 2.6.32.41 source. The 2.6.x.* and 3.x.* versions are developed and maintained separately in the "stable" repository:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

See https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git for the gitweb interface.
