Hi list,

I cloned it for nearly 30 hours due to the poor connection :( How I wish
the cloning process is resumable.

Finally I cloned the mainline kernel from
"git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git".
However, when I'm looking at the git directory, I got nothing but:

	.   ..	arch  .DS_Store  .git  .gitignore  .mailmap

I'm confused. I thought it would be like this:

	arch           include      mm               security
	block          init         modules.builtin  sound
	COPYING        ipc          modules.order    System.map
	CREDITS        Kbuild       Module.symvers   tools
	crypto         Kconfig      net              usr
	Documentation  kernel       README           virt
	drivers        lib          REPORTING-BUGS   vmlinux
	firmware       MAINTAINERS  samples          vmlinux.o
	fs             Makefile     scripts

Is my clone broken? I ran `git pull` and it said the clone is
up-to-date. And the size of .git directory is over 1 GB.

Now I'm using `tar.xz` from kernel.org and it works just fine. But I
still want to know what I should do with my git clone.


All the best!

Freeman Zhang

What does 'git status' give you?
If you have not modified anything try running `git reset --hard HEAD`
it will restore all changes made in the repository.

Are you by any chance trying to do this on an OS X machine?
That's going to lead to pain and suffering.

For example, there are a couple of files which have the same name with
different case, which isn't going to work on a default OS X install.
By default OS X has a case insensitive file system. It's possible to
change that, but you *really* want a Linux system to build the kernel.

Regards,
Kristof

Hi Kristof,

You are right, I did clone the source on mac os. And I am really
suffering :(


All the best!

I just tried it myself. Cloning works at least without *visible* errors. 
Cross compiling on OSX will lead to errors though I guess because of the 
aforementioned case insensivity.

I'm on Yosemity, btw.

My cloning process showed no visible errors, but 'git status' print
thousands of [Deleted]. I think that is why I miss nearly all the
directories in my git directory.

Anyway, now I'm using:

	rsync -av --progress
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git .

rsync is resumable. Hope it works :)


All the best!
