For developers

Clone repository

git clone git@git.alsa-project.org:alsa-kernel.git alsa-kernel

To show all branches (includes remote ones):

git branch -a

To make a remote branch local:

git checkout -b for-linus origin/for-linus
git checkout -b linux-2.6 origin/linux-2.6

Update and rebase using Linus's 2.6 kernel tree

Add remote URL:

git remote add linux-2.6 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

Checkout linux-2.6 branch:

git checkout linux-2.6

Pull Linus's 2.6 changes:

git pull linux-2.6 master

Rebase our main ALSA development master branch with linux-2.6:

git rebase linux-2.6 master

Push branch changes to ALSA GIT repository

git push --tags origin master:refs/head/master
git push --tags origin linux-2.6:refs/head/linux-2.6
git push --tags origin for-linus:refs/head/for-linus

Note: Especially after 'git rebase' the tree on server is not consistent (remote ref is not ancestor of the local ref), so you have to use --force parameter for 'git push' command. Note that this might be dangerous - we probably need to settle a locking mechanism to prevent inconsistent changes.

Branches

master

this branch is for main development (Andrew Morton will get patches for mm tree)

for-linus

this branch is for mainstream tree (for Linux Torvalds)

linux-2.6
