I used to be able to do this:
git-clone http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git
cd powerpc
git-checkout for-2.6.22
But that doesn't work any more. Why not? It was working perfectly fine before.
So someone told me I need to do this:
git-clone http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git
cd powerpc
git-fetch http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git
for-2.6.22:for-2.6.22
git-checkout for-2.6.22
Ok, fine, but now when I do git-pull, I get this:
[snip]
* refs/remotes/origin/merge: fast forward to branch 'merge' of
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc
old..new: e0f2e3a..190a440
Warning: No merge candidate found because value of config option
"branch.for-2.6.22.merge" does not match any remote branch fetched.
No changes.
What does the warning mean? And why is it so difficult to clone branches now?
