Yes. I have here one "stable" tree that have one "remote" for every stable tree since 2.6.16. > It's much faster and more flexible that way.

I personally prefer to have a bare clone (bare trees have just the -git objects, and not a workig tree), and several working copies. I do the work at the working copies, and, after they are fine, I push into the bare and send the branches from bare to upstream. > Oh, and if you manage to get your git tree in a state where > you don't know how to fix the mess, don't throw it away. > Go to the git mailing list and ask for advice.

It tracks all the changes you do, and you can always ask git to move to a different object at the tree, undoing the bad thing you did ;) > > > Johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
