Once you clone, you get the entire source in the master branch. git branch => will show which branch you are in currently If you want to see the list of tags use => git tag -l and then if you want to checkout a particular tag to a new branch created from the master, use => git checkout -b v3.0-rc4 regards, Calvin On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 3:13 PM, RKK <kulkarni.ra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Prashant , > > > > > >>> > >>> If its a public mailing list then I use a newsgroup reader that will > >>> allow me to download the entire patch email as file and then use the > >>> git apply on it. > >>> > >> may i know which newsgroup reader u use and how to setup that? thanks. > >> > > > > I use Pan News reader > > > > http://pan.rebelbase.com/ > > > > Server : news.gmane.org > > Linux Kernel : http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel > > > > thanks for that i have set up the pan news reader. i tried applying > patch but it dint work. > guess have to check git apply for that. > also, how do u clone a particular git tree for a particular tag > for example > if i use git clone > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git > linux-2.6 > it will clone the linus latest tree but if i want to clone only till > rc4 or rc5 of his tree how to do it. > > Warm Regards, > Ravi Kulkarni. > > _______________________________________________ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org > http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies >
