Someone has handed you a "git bundle". How do you get the files out of it? If it were cpio, you would use -i, if it were tar, you would use -x... You read the git-bundle man page. You only get as far as # git-bundle verify bundle.bdl The bundle contains 1 ref d01... /heads/master The bundle requires these 0 ref bundle.bdl is okay The rest is mish-mosh. There should be an emergency example for non git club members, even starting from apt-get install git-core, of the all the real steps needed _to get the files out of the bundle_. Assume the user _just wants to get the files out of the bundle_ and not learn about or participate in some project. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
