Using main as an example, not stable/12 . . . The bottom of the page https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/ shows 3 URL's for use in cloning src: Clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git [email protected]:src.git [email protected]:src.git The last two are not explicit about notation like ssh: prefixes. I cloned FreeBSD's src.git via: git clone -o freebsd --config remote.freebsd.fetch='+refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*' ssh://[email protected]/src.git freebsd-src Other than using the ssh: style, I got the command notation from part of: https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md The remote.freebsd.fetch related material allows for finding the svn version numbers for the older content. Checking out stable/12 from the clone should be possible after the above, but that is not what I've been doing. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
