13 sub version of the 4.1 kernel: 4.1.1 4.1.2 .....
.... 4.1.13
This is a string of 13 patchesets that came out *AFTER* v4.1 was released.
git tag | grep 4.1 I get: v4.1 v4.1-rc1 v4.1-rc2 v4.1-rc3 v4.1-rc4 v4.1-rc5 v4.1-rc6 v4.1-rc7 v4.1-rc8
While these are "release candidates" that came out *before* 4.1 release. The actual order is like this: v4.1-rc1 4.1-rc2 4.1-rc3 ... 4.1-rc8 v4.1 - v4.2-rc1 v4.2-rc2 ... (Linus tree) note this is a branch in different tree-> \ 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.1.3 4.1.4 (stable tree) Note the .1 .2 .3 are "stable" releases not even tagged in Linus's tree, as they are backports of fixes that have landed in newer trees. So for instance, if a regression is found and fixed in the v4.2-rc2 release, it may be backported and become part of 4.1.5 or whatever. Hope that clarifies things for you.
