Try cloning with the argument --depth 1, i.e. git clone --depth 1 <git URL> That should give you a shallow clone which will contain all the files, but not the history, and you won't be able to push changes. If you need that information, you can update after cloning by running the following command within the linux-stable directory: git fetch --depth=2147483647 If you have a recent (>= 1.8.3 I think) version of Git you may also be able to run: git fetch --unshallow Which is an alias for --depth=2147483647, but easier to remember.[1] [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/213186 -- Paul Waring http://www.pwaring.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
