+Back in the BitKeeper days I achieved this by creating small forests of
temporary trees, one tree for each logical grouping of patches, and then
pulling changes from these trees first to the test tree, and then to the
release tree. At first I replicated this in GIT, but then I realised
First create your work tree by cloning Linus's public tree:
- $ git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git work
+ $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git work
Change directory into the cloned tree you just created
branch into a local branch named "linus":
$ cat > .git/remotes/linus
- URL: rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+ URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
Pull: master:linus
