Hi,

Since yesterday, the ipipe gits are now references to the
linux-stable git. I could not find a way to "nest" the references,
have the ipipe git be references to both linux-stable.git and
linux.git.

So, this means that a typical grokmirror configuration, saving the
mirrors in /var/xeno-gits would be:

[xenomai.org]
site = git://git.xenomai.org
manifest = https://git.xenomai.org/manifest.js.gz
toplevel = /var/xeno-gits
mymanifest = /var/xeno-gits/manifest.js.gz
projectslist_symlinks = no
post_update_hook =
purgeprotect = 5
default_owner = Xenomai
log = /var/xeno-gits/grok-pull.log
loglevel = info
pull_threads = 2
include = *
exclude =

If you want to only mirror ipipe.git and say, ipipe-gch.git and want
to benefit from sharing the linux-stable repository, the include
line should be replaced with:

include = /kernel.org/linux-stable.git
	/ipipe.git
	/ipipe-gch.git

Now, if you want to only mirror ipipe.git and do not care to have a
separate linux-stable.git repository, the include line can be
replaced with:

ignore_repo_references = yes
include = /ipipe.git

Also note that another advantage of the grokmirror tools is the
grok-fsck tool, which cleans up the repositories, and spread the
work over time.

If following these changes, something does not work, please report
the problem on this mailing list.

Regards.
