It seems that I have sent the wrong list, resend it again.
Dear List,
I have found that there are lots of branches in repository, see below:
origin/HEAD
origin/andy-tracking
origin/andy-tracking-nohist
origin/balaji-tracking
origin/drm-tracking
origin/master
origin/master-nohist
origin/mokopatches-tracking
origin/mokopatches-tracking-nohist
origin/pending-tracking
origin/pending-tracking-nohist
origin/proposed
origin/stable
origin/stable-tracking
origin/stable-tracking-nohist
I always use andy-tracking branch, which is supposed to be the latest,
but he has left. Well, I'm quite confused which one is right for me
now.
Or maybe I have missed something, which is discussed earlier, if so, a
link is really appreciated.
Or can anyone help to let me know how to recognize those branches. From
the above branch names, I just can tell there might be personal/stable
branches. But I can't tell what's the version of kernel 2.6.24/2.6.29/
bla... bla...
So I have following questions on current branches:
a) What's kernel version in those branches 2.6.24/2.6.29/others...?
b) Which one is the main developing branch, where all personal branches
will be merged to by maintainer, might be someone from openmoko???
c) Current branch names and their classifications:
personal-tracking/developing/stable
My understanding of branches, but I don't have any idea about others:
Personal-tracking branches:
origin/andy-tracking
origin/andy-tracking-nohist
origin/balaji-tracking
origin/drm-tracking
stable branches:
origin/stable
origin/stable-tracking
origin/stable-tracking-nohist
d)What's the difference between stable/stable-tracking/stable
tracking-nohist.
Note: Later stable tracking and stable-tracking-nohist (no commit
history)???!!!???!
Well, if I'm wrong, please correct me. As I just wanna keep an eye on
just 1~2 branches, suitable for me. Thanks in advance.
