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 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 > ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

If you dont want the history it is available at kernel.org ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/testing/ If you want the history then you will have to clone the entire repo and then checkout whichever rev. you want. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Take a look at 'git apply' and 'git format-patch' commands.

You only need to get the patches into .patch files in a directory. I believe you can then use git am /path/to/patches and it will apply the patches in the order the ls command displays them. I'm assuming that would be helpful since most people who don't know how to apply patches from mail also don't have an mbox. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
