    git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git

gives you a copy of the Linux/m68k repository. The default (branch `master')
is the current development tree (v2.6.30-rc1 for now).

2.6.29 development is done on branch `m68k-v2.6.29', use

    git checkout m68k-v2.6.29

If you want to update later, simply do (if you're not on branch
`master', you'll have to
do `checkout master' first):

    git pull

If you already have a copy of Linus' repository around, you can save diskspace
and download bandwidth by

  1. Adding `--reference <path-to-your-copy-of-Linus'-repository' to the
    `git clone' command (if you want a separate repository for m68k)

  2. Set up a remote (if you want a combined one with Linus' and m68k):

    git remote add linux-m68k
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git
    git remote update
    git checkout linux-m68k/master
or  git checkout linux-m68k/m68k-v2.6.29

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
