git repository for net drivers available

git repository for net drivers available

[Jeff Garzik]

Although I have over 200 net driver patches to go through in my 
'Pending' folder, I have fully converted the existing netdev-2.6 
repository from BitKeeper to git.  This includes the wireless-2.6 
repository.

rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git

The main branch is fairly irrelevant, as you must choose the branch you 
wish:
> [jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$ ls .git/branches/
> 8139cp         e1000        ixgb     r8169            skge           we18

> e100           iff-running  ppp      sis900           starfire


For folks looking for a consolidated netdev-2.6 repository (hi Andrew), 
that does not exist yet.  I will create an 'ALL' repository for this 
purpose, sometime soon.

Ok, I'll bite.  Hopefully I'm not the only one tripping on shoe laces...

Here is what I did -- what am I doing wrong?

Following is using cogito 0.10:

REPO=rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pubs/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git
cg-clone ${REPO}
.... get coffee, etc. ... come back and I have a netdev-2.6 tree ...
cg-branch-add wifi ${REPO}#wifi
cg-update wifi
.... connects and attempts to download but fails out with:

----------------
receiving file list ... done
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recursive option?

rsync: link_stat
"/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git/heads/wifi" (in pub)
failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(653)
receiving file list ... done
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recursive option?
cg-pull: unable to get the head pointer of branch wifi
----------------

Should it be trying to get 'wifi' from ...netdev-2.6.git/branches (vs.
heads)? 

Tool problem, user problem, complete lack of knowledge re: git and
cogito, or a combination of the above?

Thanks,
James

Looks like cogito is using $repo/heads/$branch, whereas my git repo is 
using $repo/branches/$branch.

You can achieve what's necessary with

> rsync --verbose --delete --stats --progress \
> -a rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git/ .git

and then

> ( cd .git ; rm -f HEAD ; ln -s branches/wifi HEAD )

and then

> git-read-tree $(cat .git/HEAD) && git-checkout-cache -q -f -a && git-update-cache --refresh



For what it's worth, this is only netdev-2.6 as it appeared in 
BitKeeper.  I am only now merging all the emailed patches since BK devel 
stopped into git, which includes the ipw code you submitted.

Would it be a big problem to use refs/heads/$branch? That's the
currently commonly agreed convention about location for storing branch
heads, not just some weird Cogito-specific invention. And it'd be very
nice to have those locations consistent across git repositories.

Sure, that's doable.

I've pushed out this change to kernel.org.

Since Jeff brought up $repo/branches/$branch, you may also want
to add that $repo/branches/$branch is used to record the URL of
the remote $branch (the information used to be in a flat file
$repo/remotes, branch name and URL separated by shell $IFS, one
record on each line), and is quite different from those 40-byte
SHA1 plus LF files you see in $repo/refs/*/ directory.

I think it is a reasonable one, I also follow the
$repo/branches/$branch convention Cogito uses, and I would
encorage other Porcelain implementations to follow suit.

Do you prefer plain patches or GIT repository on kernel.org to merge
for future (and "current") updates?
I haven't set a public repo up yet, but it's a matter of seconds.

For now, plain patches.

FWIW, I do still have your WAN update patch.
