Hi All, I just want to improve om my approch as my preview approch failed with git merger conflict. So I did some reverse engg. And came up with this approch. # First clone to the current release. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux cd linux # Added a remote git tree to the .git/config using following command. git remote add stable git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git # Merge the tags from the stable tree to current tree # this will resolve all the conflict and diff and tags git fetch stable master --tags # After this you will be able to chose to checkout any stable # release using particular tags in different branchs. # checkout the stable release v3.14.4 into stable314y branch. git checkout tags/v3.14.4 -b stable314y # Simpilarly you can checkout v3.10.40 int stable310y branch git checkout tags/v3.10.40 -b stable310y # You local repository will have git branch --list master --this branch point to mainline: 3.15-rc7 * stable310y --this branch point to longterm: 3.10.40 stable314y --this branch point to stable: 3.14.4 tutorial # Note but dont use 'git pull' in these sub branchs # You can switch among these branches. git checkout stable314y -f git describe v3.14.4 git checkout stable310y -f git describe v3.10.40 git checkout master -f git describe v3.15-rc7-40-gcd79bde # Note : You can maintain the kernel in the same linux directory. # Note you can do 'git reset --hard HEAD' only on the *master branch. Please share your thought on this. -Anand Moon On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 10:58 PM, "Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx" <Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx> wrote: On Tue, 27 May 2014 11:28:19 -0500, Victor Rodriguez said: > Have you try the git archive instead of git clone? , if you do not need the > history this git option rocks That has the same problem as 'clone --depth 1' - you can't bisect using the resulting tree. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
