another minor nit/request: can you update your scripts to push all the
released stable tags to the new stable-rc tree?

Currently, it's missing the v4.4.14 tag, so the git-describe comes
looking like it's 115 patches on top of v4.4.13 instead of 33 patches on
top of v4.4.14:

$ git checkout origin/linux-4.4.y
HEAD is now at 5db8024c795f... Linux 4.4.15-rc1
$ git describe
v4.4.13-115-g5db8024c795f

Note that in my previous email, I did the git describe in a tree that
also had the released stable tree tags, so the git describe came out
right, but the auto-builders don't do that.

For the git describe to be most useful, it probably makes the most sense
if the released stable tree tags are also pushed to the stable-rc tree.

Thanks,
