<P><FONT SIZE=2>Vlad,<BR>
<BR>
I am in the process of setting up a GIT tree for the VNIC driver on<BR>
the OFA server.<BR>
<BR>
Here is how I think I should be doing this. Please correct me if I am<BR>
wrong.<BR>
<BR>
1. Clone git://git.openfabrics.org/~vlad/ofed_kernel<BR>
2. Create a branch that tracks ofed_kernel<BR>
3. Get the VNIC changes into that branch<BR>
4. Do a "git rebase ofed_kernel" to merge this branch with the latest ofed_kernel code<BR>
5. Create an empty qlvnic.git tree on the OFA server<BR>
6. git push the branch that I created to qlvnic.git<BR>
<BR>
Can I do all this directly on the OFA server without pushing this from my local machine<BR>
or is that not recommended ?<BR>
<BR>
Also please let me know if you have any specific requirements related to naming of the branches etc.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Ram<BR>

Hi Ram,<BR>
Can you arrange a git tree on the OFA server that I can pull from?<BR>
