Re: Git Download/Bootstrap Suggestion

[Dilip M <dilipm79@gmail.com>]

I had a same question :) what I want is to distribute a git version
across some team. I maintain a clone and keep the latest tag
checkedout. When ever there is a new release (tag), I switch to master
branch and pull. Than I checkout the new tag and compile.  Is there
any simple way to do this w/o any downtime?. There should be .... I
just miss some extra knowledge on git. Thanks in advance for
suggestions
