latest patch download

[Davide CASCONE]

I have visited the suggested web-address http://git.infradead.org/?p=mtd-2.6.git with the latest updates; how can download the latest version of all files (mtd and jffs2)? Are there available some patches to add all the latest updates on my Linux release?

Thank you for your support.
Best Regards,
 Davide Cascone

Hm, no -- I don't think there is a way to do that. It's a sensible
feature request for gitweb though -- just being able to extract a diff
between two branches (i.e. 'linus->master') would be useful.

The best answer I can give right now is just to install cogito and
'cg-diff -r linus', unless the gitweb authors want to tell me that
gitweb _can_ do diffs between branches, and I've just missed it...

Something like this?:
  http://git.infradead.org/?p=mtd-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=HEAD;hp=v2.6.17-rc1

But you have to manually add ';hp=<tagname/hash>' to the url, for the
commit(parent) you want to base against

Aha, thanks. So what Davide actually wanted was something like:

http://git.infradead.org/?p=mtd-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=HEAD;hp=linus

It doesn't have the full set of commit comments, but the patch looks
good. Thanks.


Another feature request... if you look at http://git.infradead.org/ it's
just a list of trees, and it's quite hard to pick out the one you want.
It'd be really nice if we could split the 'official' trees up from the
users' trees -- and also if the users' trees which don't have anything
new are somehow less prominent -- by being greyed out, strikethrough or
something.

There's a whole bunch of trees there which I already pulled from, so
they contain nothing that isn't in their parent.

How can we determine the "not anything new" state? :)

Does sorting it by age doesn't do what you are looking for?

git-diff origin.. | wc -l

Oh, wait... _its_ version of 'origin' will of course still be older.

But if I just configure gitweb with a _static_ list of 'parent trees' to
use for the 'not anything new' state, that's fine. If the tree in
question is a strict subset of _any_ of the listed 'parent trees', then
it's not interesting.

We can probably do even better than that -- we can look at what's in
remotes/origin and use that instead.

Actually, half those trees don't have remotes/origin at the moment --
but that's easily fixed. I have to create the list of repositories with
a script _anyway_, because it has to go looking in users' ~/public_git
directories. So I suppose I can make that script _ignore_ any repos
without it.

Actually, I'd like to group repos in the display according to their
parent. So all the repos based on mtd-2.6.git would be together, all the
repos based on mtd-utils.git would be together, and then the ones
without a matching parent would be in another group.

We could even put the intended parent into the index.aux file so that
gitweb doesn't have to work that out for itself.

Hm, didn't know _that_ existed either. Is there documentation I haven't
been paying attention to?
