Dear git people, I made a customized Linux kernel based on 2.6.15.6 by cloning the stable 2.6.15 kernel repository (which was then at version 2.6.15.6) and making several commits. Now I would like a Linux kernel based on 2.6.16 with the same customizations. This seems to be a very simple task, but I have been trying various combinations of git commands for several days and have not figured out how to do it. I believe that means I should pull the 2.6.16 kernel into the "origin" branch and then rebase the "master" branch, merging my customizations with 2.6.16. To this end, I switched my remote file to point to the 2.6.16 stable repository and tried to pull. The result was not what I wanted. The situation is complicated by the fact that 2.6.15.6 is not an ancestor of 2.6.16. The warning in the man page about branches that are modified nonlinearly seems to apply. How do I make my customized 2.6.16 kernel? -- Matt McCutchen hashproduct@verizon.net http://hashproduct.metaesthetics.net/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Mar 29 12:44:48 2006
