Linux 2.6.39-rc7  has version 1.5.0 in Linus'es tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=fs/ocfs2/ver.c;h=e2488f4128a20f563459ba936cf263160e7350b2;hb=693d92a1bbc9e42681c42ed190bd42b636ca876f

>From what I can tell from the changelog, you use the upstream-linus
branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlbec/ocfs2
to sync with mainline, which also carries version 1.5.0.

However, the latest version seems to be 1.6.3, available in the
"unbreakable linux kernel" tree:

It was bumped in september last year...

    ocfs2: Ups the version from 1.6.2 to 1.6.3
...


It's a bit confusing that mainline ver.c was last updated in 2007, at
the same time there are ocfs2 patches continuously accepted in
mainline, and the unbreakable kernel is at 1.6.3... is ver.c simply
forgotten or are there other differences between the trees?
