Hm - if it breaks the robotic stuff, there could be a real "v2.6.26-merge" git tag which shouldn't break like "v2.6.26-rc1".


Most of the robots don't have access to git.

For me a 2.6.25-gitX looks like a snapshot that leads to a 2.6.25.1 and _not_ to a 2.6.26-rc1.

Tough. It's a naming convention quite old (we had -bk before -git, too.)
