Yeah, I just meant the git snapshot on upstream.  Obviously the tag
would have to be pushed somewhere.  When I grab patch-3.14-rc8-git1.xz
from fedpkg, it would be nice to know what commit that corresponds to,
that's all.

Getting that from the log of the 'sources' file is ok.  It would be even
easier if the patch files were named in git-describe style, but I
realize the kernel.spec isn't prepared to deal with that.

So this is good enough, thanks!
