Nish, I think you might be the only user ;-) I never figured out a nice
way to do this w/out having a coherency issue (well, triggers aside).
Ideally git would allow for something more transparent than alternatives,
actual moving view to another tree. It's possible with links, but that
seems just dirty. Short of that, do folks find the tree useful? If so,
I can work on some better automation to keep it up-to-date.
I tried this tree a while ago but at the time it had a problem with tags
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/14/177). I just recloned and see that's now
fixed...
I'm rolling my own since then though. Not sure, but perhaps it's interesting
to someone: when Linus tags a release from his repo I branch of the -stable
branch myself:
$ git checkout -b v22 v2.6.22
and then (following advice from Junio Hamano) add the following stanza to
.git/config:
===
[branch "v22"]
remote = linux-2.6.22.y
merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "linux-2.6.22.y"]
url =
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.22.y.git
fetch = refs/heads/master
===
(the url = is one line, but is wrapping).
When on this v22 branch, a simple "git pull" then updates from the stable
tree. It's been working nicely for me. The manual .git/config editing is a
little awkard perhaps but for all I know I could do so via some well-chosen
git commands.
Rene.
