However, I'm not that bothered about tracking the history - it's more that I like to have the latest kernel release lying around. Is there a way that I could just pull individual commits from a git repository? In particular - could I make a repository (obviously not a clone, because it wouldn't have all the history) that contained only the tagged commits from an upstream repository? Is it even sensible to want that? It strikes me that it's possible that there isn't that much space/bandwidth saving to be made. Should I just clone the repository and shut up? :-) Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE
