I think 'git pull' is what you want. But be warned that wireless-dev will be rebased from time to time, and pulling won't work across rebases. > What is the best practice to apply patches not yet in Linvilles tree? > > My purpose is to test patches from the list and will probably not do > patches myself. The best practice would be to keep an up-to-date copy of Linus' tree (i.e. linux-2.6) using 'git pull'. Then when you want to experiment w/ wireless-dev, you can create a lightweight clone (my terminology) using a command like this: git clone --reference linux-2.6 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git wireless-dev Then create a working branch for yourself: git checkout -b work origin/everything Then you can apply patch emails for testing. Save the patch email in mbox format, then use this command: git applymbox patch.mbox Then, build-test-patch-repeat... :-) Hth! John -- John W.
