Hi,
I am trying to configure my development environment and thus trying my
hands with git to keep myself updated with kernel and e2fsprogs. I
could setup git to pull the latest images, however I have few basic
questions.
1) Everytime i have to get the updated source I do "git pull". Does
that mean I get the stable version or the unstable one ??
git pull, only pull from the original source u did a "git clone". So which source u clone? Eg, I am aware of linus tree, and -mm tree, and there is a "ext4 unstable tree" which I pull occasionally. but whether linus tree has a stable or unstable version, i am not sure, just aware that it is considered as the most stable - as compared with -mm tree.
2) When people submit patches I can see a commit id with it. However
"git show <id>" gives "fatal: bad object <id>". How can i configure it
to see ??
"git log" will list all, showing the ID. am i understanding u?
3) I guess there must be two different git repositories for the stable
and unstable version. How do I see the current patches submitted for
each individual ? Will I have to clone with each developers git
repository ??
not sure myself.
Sorry if the questions are too silly .... but this is my first
interaction with git :-)
