    I finally succeeded to get cg-clone to work on
    linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
    I can see the 2.6.13-rc4 is in there and can use cg-diff to see the
    difference between the current tree and 2.6.13-rc4.

    But how to I extract the 2.6.13-rc4 source from the tree?

    Or even more complicated: I would like to make a branch based on
    2.6.13-rc4 and work from there. At some point I would like to jump to
    2.6.13-rc5 (or 2.6.13). I do not want to have the in-between changes
    tickle in. I.e. I need something like "cvs rtag -b -r 2.6.13-rc4 mytress"
    and "cvs update -j 2.6.13-rc4 -j 2.6.13-rc5".

    In drawing

     Linus
      |
      + 2.6.13-rc3
      |
      + 2.6.13-rc4 My tree
      | \
      | (current) |
      | |
      + 2.6.13-rc5 |
      | \ |
      | + merge point
      | |
      + 2.6.13 |
      | \ |
      | + merge point

    How do I do that with cogito or git?
