You're going to have a hard time doing that with the legacy kernel/, given
the fact that no one ever bothered to tag sync-ups with Linus.

It would be very tedious to try and find specific kernel releases by
grepping cvs logs and so forth.  But if someone wanted to take the effort
to do so, I'd rather they grab specific kernel releases and archive them,
so that we can eventually kill that tree.

I agree on keeping it around to be able to track changes, but I want
to at least get my docs out and freeze that tree, so we start using the
drop-in tree by next week.

In the new drop-in tree *everything* will be tagged (or your changes
will be reverted).
