[arch-general] ARCH .y kernel releases do not match kernel.org's

[Emmanuel Benisty]

Hi,

I was having some sound issue with ARCH 2.6.38.3 stock kernel so I
started to bisect it from Greg KH's 2.6.38.y stable tree.
.38.2 was good and .38.3 was bad (so I thought) but I hadn't any
single bad commit during bisecting. However, .38.4 /was/ bad. I could
finally find the guilty commit (which is in .38.4) but couldn't
understand why I was hit by this issue even with 2.6.38.3-ARCH. Then I
diff'd both .38.3 patches and found out that Arch's one includes
patches that are not in Greg's release. It seems we include patches
that are still in -stable patch queue.
Finally, I just have one question: is that normal? All I can say is
that it made my bisecting session a real PITA. Please give me back my
CPU cycles :P

Cheers.
