A very good point about GKH - users of his stable trees are indeed protected, assuming they check the signatures. Less so, sadly, about Linus - the tip of his tree isn't signed, and even if it was, I don't have a path of trust to his key.

The tip isn't signed, but the rcs are, so you know that v3.1-rc4, released Aug 28 2011, is legitimate, and so is all the history leading up to it.

Conclusion: the git tree is not compromised up to that point.
