Hi Sreenaath. Do you plan on contributing to the development or just try out the existing? On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 4:32 AM, sreenaath vasudevan <sreenaathkv at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > Yeah.

I dont know how to get the above step correct. well, you answered your own question - any specific reason why you didn't want to follow the instructions simply? :) when not using -o ncl, git uses a default name for the remote - namely origin. Do some google'ing and these things will be clearer. For instance, try reading this: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~cduan/technical/git/git-4.shtml so, you should be able to do: git checkout -b android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm --track origin/android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm you can also do a 'git remote' to see your remotes. > > Problem II- Not able to clone 'android-extra' > 1.

For now, I registered your SSH key, so you can do: git clone gitosis at git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu:ncl/android-virt/android-extra.git > > It would be great if someone can tell me the steps for cloning anonymously n > setting up by? overcoming these problems. > > > > > > On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 8:09 PM, Christoffer Dall > <christofferdall at christofferdall.dk> wrote: >> >> hmm, seems like an error on the server. >> >> try again. >> >> -Christoffer >> >> On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 12:29 AM, sreenaath vasudevan >> <sreenaathkv at gmail.com> wrote: >> > Hi Christopher >> > I think while writing my previous e-mail I missed the ".git".
