change to the ia64 GIT trees

change to the ia64 GIT trees

[Luck, Tony]

Now that GIT is smarter, and I'm more aware of what it can do
(and how to make it do it), I'm making a small change to how
I export GIT trees on kernel.org.

Instead of having separate trees for test and release, there
is now just one tree which contains "test" and "release" branches.
[or there will be soon when my deletion of the old test tree
is reflected on the kernel.org mirrors].

You can pull each of the branches separately with:

 $ git pull rsync://rsync.kernel.org/..../aegl/linux-2.6 test
or
 $ git pull rsync://rsync.kernel.org/..../aegl/linux-2.6 release

I wrote a "howto" for GIT about using branches as a Linux
subsystem maintainer that was included in the GIT sources
yesterday.  You can read a copy at http://tinyurl.com/d57dc

Does anyone know how one gets to these using cogito?  Or maybe I
should just not use cogito?

$ cg-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git
$ cd linux-2.6.git
$ cg-branch-ls
origin  rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git

I had expected to see the test and release branches there.

Is that supposed to be linux-2.6.git?
 
Along the same lines, when I look at the web view at

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git;a=summary

and especially the "tree" view (which I use a bit to see what has
changed in a file) what branch am I looking at there, the test or the
release?

Methinks these are supposed to be .../linux-2.6.git, yes?

I started off using cogito in the early days of GIT, but I didn't
keep up with its development ... so I don't know how to pull these
with cogito.  This might be a case where pure GIT and cogito play
nice together ... so you could try a "git pull" to get each branch
and see what cogito thinks of it.  A git branch is just an extra
file in .git/refs/heads/ with the SHA1 of the head of that branch.

Doh!  Yes, I can't remember the name of my own GIT tree, isn't that
sad.

The ".git/HEAD" symlink in my tree points to the "release" branch, so
that's what gitweb will show by default.

But, if you scroll down to the bottom of the summary page you'll
see links for the test/release branches.  Click on "test" and the
page you get to will have a "tree" link that allows you to browse
the test tree.  You can also browse a historic tree by searching
back to some old commit, and clicking the "tree" you find there.

Correct.  See earlier "Doh!"

I'm no git/cogito expert, but the following worked for me to get a test
branch snapshot:

cg-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git#test test

This gets the correct source, but the branch names are misleading to me:

attica$ cg-branch-ls
origin  rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git#test

Clone the main repository and cg-branch-add the test branch?
