I feel working with git is a bit too geeky for the non-initiated. I can upvote this because i didn't used the "repo python script" provided by Google to download android source but git alone.

Branch android-3.0 set up to track remote branch android-3.0 from origin. Switched to a new branch 'android-3.0' [e518816@pe1800xs common]$ ls arch CREDITS drivers include Kbuild lib mm REPORTING-BUGS security usr block crypto firmware init Kconfig MAINTAINERS net samples sound virt COPYING Documentation fs ipc kernel Makefile README scripts tools -- Cheers, Manavendra Nath Manav _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
