So the above similar command would be: git checkout -b <new branch name> <git hash> So you could do: git checkout -b f23-4.2.7 827b8d0864402142f735d3e8cef8d20ae094e2d7 Which puts you into a branch from that point, you can then commit your own patches etc. "fedpkg switch-branch f23" to get back to main f23 branch "fedpkg --dist f23 srpm" to create a src.rpm of the branch with any changes you might have committed "git branch -D f23-4.2.7" to delete the branch you created _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
