Message-ID: <49CD0841.9000602@gmail.com> (raw)
I may be missing something, but I would like to request that
http://git-scm.com/download provide a link to a tarball of the actual
git clone of the current repository with the repo parked on the latest
stable. What I mean is that for most of my systems I build git off of
source but I like to be able to just git pull when I want to update
them. Currently what I have to do is
- download the source tarball (or the rpm)
- make it
- install it
- use that git clone the real repo
- checkout the newest tag
- make configure
- configure
- make
- make install
It'd be a lot cooler if I could just wget a full get repo on the latest
tag :)
Just a request, Thanks
-Mike
