To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Dear Linux enthusiasts, I recently (yesterday) began to fetch (clone, fetch, ...) the current Linux GIT repository: http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git I first failed to fetch it through any protocol ( git:// , http:// , https:// ) because of my UNRELIABLE WiFi connexion. I eventually managed to download the following file : http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/refs/heads/master http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/info/packs http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-0b38509807589c455b1c769368348bd845441959.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-c53d2db50f885f3803a3afd46484b54c06b1433e.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-910f14bdd726702c46cfd622ee40fcaf4881a5ec.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-81315ef1065b534c70a409978aa11daf2e27fdb5.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-83898168fc5bce601472bd3260cd6b08f5f4f7b2.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-7ff1ea46fec7532e88a900a9a1340794fb3ffa3f.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-221cb4abe6bb3165bf062219200020148b83948b.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-6576226aba312e2a3b610665e35cfc466f980c55.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-0ab67efdf76cff54cd9fa5166d1df19c8edf685a.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-0b7fc86700a243d2ea341c04926c4425fe85fd26.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-fb3e46067bf5b97b6b49dbda9cda51cf3ef3b660.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-04fb51824d013a5fbac892f95369d92daf60f195.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-76001124ed6335482ee1cea785f93426ab278417.idx http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-0b38509807589c455b1c769368348bd845441959.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-c53d2db50f885f3803a3afd46484b54c06b1433e.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-910f14bdd726702c46cfd622ee40fcaf4881a5ec.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-81315ef1065b534c70a409978aa11daf2e27fdb5.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-83898168fc5bce601472bd3260cd6b08f5f4f7b2.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-7ff1ea46fec7532e88a900a9a1340794fb3ffa3f.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-221cb4abe6bb3165bf062219200020148b83948b.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-6576226aba312e2a3b610665e35cfc466f980c55.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-0ab67efdf76cff54cd9fa5166d1df19c8edf685a.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-0b7fc86700a243d2ea341c04926c4425fe85fd26.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-fb3e46067bf5b97b6b49dbda9cda51cf3ef3b660.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-04fb51824d013a5fbac892f95369d92daf60f195.pack http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/pack/pack-76001124ed6335482ee1cea785f93426ab278417.pack And all these .pack and .idx files appear to be valid ones, with respect to the "git verify-pack" command. This set of files seems to be consistent with the current state (by that time) of the Linux git repository (torvalds/linux-2.6.git) Now, I would like YOU to tell ME how I can checkout from the PACKs I've just downloaded. How may I populate the working directory , objects/xy/... , refs/... , ... hierarchies to make my (local) repository usable. I suspect I shall find this information in documentation related to the "git fetch" command, but I haven't managed to get it right. Your HELP is very welcome. If you prefer not to pollute LKML, you may choose to aswer me at: valentin.quequet@gmail.com Thanks in advance, Valentin
