[KJ] git fetch of latest -mm

[KJ] git fetch of latest -mm

[Chris Smith]

Hello,
 Using the boilerplate command from the Andrew Morton announcement,
git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git
v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

I get exactly that version, not the desired 2.6.19-rc2-mm1 code.
Is this 'smurf' tree actually current?
I'm able to pull down a current mercurial tree and patch that up with
the -mm tarball, but some proficiency with git would seem desirable,
and I'm stymied.
Has anyone a recipe to track the -mm tree in git?

All that s/16/19/ (appears) to do is alter the name of the directory produced.
#cd checkout
#cat .kernelversion
#v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

Tried the git-fsck, and it complained about HEAD not being kosher.
My thought is that there may have been git changes subseqent to that
'smurf' tree creation that rendered it b0rk3n, but I dunno.

Are you using a recent version of git?

The tree appears ok via the web interface at
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git;a=summary
(see under "heads" or "tags").

Hm, I try to use git as little as possible.  Anyway, I cloned
the linux-trees.git and mucked around with it a bit (and it was
frustrating).  I finally got v2.6.19-rc2-mm1 by doing this:

git checkout -f v2.6.19-rc2-mm1

maybe so, but did you look at the other git help on the web, like:

http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html
and  http://git.or.cz/  (FAQ, wiki, docs, etc.)

Unless the kernelnewbies.org info would be lots better, it might
as well just link to these IMO.

Futher assistance from jdl on #git gave me a proper:
git checkout -b MyBranch v2.6.19-rc2-mm2
which gets past the stale 'master' in the repository cloning.
