I'm not able to get -mm tree from GIT. In
http://git.kernel.org/.../smurf/linux-trees.git/refs/tags/ I can see
the most recent tags like v2.6.17-rc6-mm2 but cg-clone
http://git.kernel.org/.../smurf/linux-trees.git gives me only
2.6.16-rc3 :(
I tried "cg-fetch v2.6.17-rc6-mm2" which seemed to fetch some more
tags, then played with git-checkout & friends but still can't get the
most recent source tree.
All right, finally this worked out:
git pull rsync://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git \
tag v2.6.17-rc6-mm2
Strange enough with http:// instead of rsync:// I got some message
about nonexistent tag.
Now when I try git pull with http:// again it says the tree is up to
date. However with git:// it started downloading more things and tags.
That's confusing - I believed all protocols should behave the same way...?
