The first kernel release of a minor version like 6.16 doesn't include a patch version. It therefore only gets the 6.16 tag. Subsequent versions like 6.16.1 get both a 6.16 and a 6.16.1 tag. This means that later patch releases overwrite the only tag for the first minor release. It is not possible to refer to that version therefore. Tag the first minor release with a .0 patch version so that 6.16.0 stays around. Signed-off-by: Lorenz Bauer <lmb@isovalent.com>
