  I cloned the Linux kernel repository Sunday night and looked at the tags:

$ hg tags

  But the changeset _after_ the v2.6.13-rc6 tag is this:

$ hg export 5709
# HG changeset patch
# User Linus Torvalds <torvalds at g5.osdl.org>
# Node ID 41a2c32624ac313f6512366c43146a28862ea92b
# Parent  8c22e687b19198d4975a72f029798c98b437dd91
Linux 2.6.13-rc6

Last (?) -rc, partly brought on by the aic7xxx performance fixes (ie get
them tested in an -rc release before the real 2.6.13).
