Well, Linus and crew are pretty busy beavers. Its shocking how
fast they can make a dam^H^H^Hoperating system better. :-)

The problem here is you aren't on a branch, you are on a detached
HEAD. So we must have setup the wrong thing in .git/FETCH_HEAD
and we didn't actually merge.
What version of git is this, exactly (`git version`)?
I'd suggest making your life a little bit easier. Consider creating
a remote that points to Linus:
$ git remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
$ git checkout -b master ; # or any other branch
$ git config branch.master.remote linus
$ git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
Now you can update from Linus with just:
$ git pull
Provided you are on branch "master", or whatever other branches
you setup those branch.*.remote and branch.*.merge configuration
options for.
