git question

[Jes Sorensen]

Hi,

I was trying to checkout a copy of Tony's release tree, but I get a
strange error when doing so.

Anyone know how to get around this, or is it not possible to do so?

first:
git-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git
then:
[jes@tomahawk linux-2.6]$ git-pull
fatal: Needed a single revision
Pulling into a black hole?

???

Thanks,
Jes

Matthew suggested that I use git: of rsync: and strangely enough that
works. Baffling, but hey, I now have what I wanted ;)

Thanks,

I'm not sure what happened.  I did swap-out my links to the packfiles in
Linus' tree ... but I ran the "git prune" and "git-update-server-info"
afterwards.  So the tree should have been consistent (but possibly might
have had some objects in the packfiles that might not have been needed
by the heads in my tree if Linus was ahead of my tree).

In general the "rsync:" protocol should be the lowest overhead for a
fresh clone, but "git:" should be better for subsequent pulls and fetches.

Hmmm

Another git issue:

[jes@tomahawk linux-2.6]$ git-pull
fatal: read error (Connection reset by peer)
Fetch failure: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git

Anyone seen that one before? Worked last week.

Thanks,
Jes

Not my fault (this time).  I haven't pushed anything up to kernel.org
(or made any other repo changes) since Feb 18th.  The version of git
on kernel.org was updated to 1.2.3 on Feb 23rd. What date was your last
good pull?

Hmm I wonder if thats it. I had a good pull on Thursday for sure, but
I think I did on Friday as well. Someone else reported problems against
other repos.

It seems that if one keeps retrying, eventually it will work, but it
seems very random.

Cheers,
Jes

Perhaps there is something wrong on one of the kernel.org front-end
systems.  You can force a specific one using git1.kernel.org or
git2.kernel.org
