[openfabrics-ewg] git question

[Minich, Makia]

OK, so basically, I did the following (from the development wiki):

      git clone -s --bare git://www.mellanox.co.il/~git/infiniband .git
      git checkout ofed_1_1 `git-ls-tree -r --name-only ofed_1_1 \
                   include/rdma include/scsi/srp.h drivers/infiniband \
                   Documentation/infiniband ofed_scripts kernel_patches`
      echo 'ref: refs/heads/ofed_1_1' > .git/HEAD

At this point, I have all of the OFED specific files, but I see that .git/remotes/origin file is not created.  So, perhaps a few more lines are needed on the wiki for how to create this file (if someone wants to follow this path rather than download the entire kernel source) and perhaps do an update (if so desired).

Thanks...

Basically you need to specify remote repo name with 'git pull' (look at
'man git-pull' for details).

But if your local tree was cloned from somewhere (with 'git clone
remote-repo') there should be reference to this remote-repo named
'origin' (it is generated in clone time), and when such 'origin'
exists command 'git pull' without names will use this remote repo (IOW
'git pull' is equivalent to 'git pull origin' (this can be reconfigured
btw)).
