It would be easy if Thomas tagged each via drm version.  In my 
kernel logs 2.10.2 switched to 2.11.0 on December 31 2006, and to 
2.11.1 on February 3 2007.  The actual commit might be several days 
earlier, as I pull git only once or twice a week, and do not always 
immediately start using a new version.

I don't think with git one can pull specific dates.  Look at 'git 
log | grep Date | less' and see how the time line is a mess.  
Patches, when merged, keep their original dates, it seems.  The 
only way to refer to a specific version is through the hashes, or 
through symbolic names for these, the tags.  If you figure out 
precisely which of Thomas's commits push 2.11.0 and 2.11.1, you 
could ask him to still tag these now.
