We told you before - you're behind a firewall and can't use rsync. Unless you have an argument with your firewall admin and those are usually a rather stuborn kind of character when it comes to that kind of changes :) > In the "Status of CVS to GIT conversion " section, there is no information > on linux-2.6.12 tag/branch.If I want to checkout linux-2.6.12 tag from GIT > repository what command I should use after cloning the git repository. I certainly won't list each of the hundreds of individual tags on that page; no point in that. ANyway, after the clone finished, do: git-read-tree -m $(cat .git/refs/tags/linux-2.6.12) git-checkout-index -f -a -u -q Git developers didn't make that too easy; the git-checkout command doesn't accept a tag as it's argument, so git-checkout linux-2.6.12 doesn't work.
