Right, but git went past that update ... as their were 2 commits back to
back .. the GA kernel and the zeroday update kernel.

The goal here is to do mods to the GA kernel to put on the ISO, get
those mods into git using the GA kernel and also not erase the Zero Day
kernel info ..

so these 3 changes are to GA kernel:

update changelog for the debranding changes    
    315459     diff | tree

16 hours ago     Karanbir Singh        
Patch in CentOS SecureBoot keys    
    df32f9     diff | tree

while these 2 are to the Zero Day Kernel:

16 hours ago     Karanbir Singh        
Merge branch 'c7-GA' into c7    
    f355f5     diff | tree

16 hours ago     Karanbir Singh        
Patch in CentOS SecureBoot keys    
    0b2610     diff | tree

So that means we can build both kernels from git ... one to put onto the
iso, the other one (now two after we apply the same changes to the new
kernel-3.10.0-123.4.2.el7)

These kind of changes will only happen when Red Hat imports 2 versions
in before we have a chance to modify the first version ... which will
only likely happen on point releases?

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
