I'd recommend to upgrade your git. There are some really nice improvements in the latest versions (1.5.2.2, for instance). Particularly, the command above would have worked. That is, assuming you actually do have that origin branch. In any case, a $ git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git master $ git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD will get you the very latest kernel in your working directory. Has some disadvantages, though: does not retrieve the tags and destroys local changes. But you'll find a man page of git-remote and git-config very interesting, especially wrt the above operation. I do just "git pull", for example and actually _am_ sure I get the latest kernel, get all the tags and never loose local changes. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
