| git-clone git://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/dccp_exp my_dccp | | | But I did not check out the DCCP sub-branch, by: | | git-checkout --track -b dccp origin/dccp | | | However, as I type this command above, git complains saying: | | git checkout: branch dccp already exists | | | It this OK to say so? The `--track' command is only necessary to instruct git to always pull from the given remote destination. Apparently the dccp subtree got cloned as well. If this succeeded, you can check out the sub branch via "git-checkout dccp" (no -b); check with "git-branch" on which branch you are on. I mostly use the other method, i.e. for my work I pull the test tree after creating a branch master/dccp and then clone: git checkout -b dccp master git pull git://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/dccp_exp dccp Sorry in the previous reply I forgot to mention that there is a much easier way to doi all this - the entire test tree is available as a single patch, for most recent releases on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/testing_dccp/test-tree/ This can be applied via "zcat test-tree_*.diff.gz| patch -p1 [--dry-run]" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
