So: git clone git://github.com/cherokee/webserver.git --recursive ... will clone the webserver repo and the repo's of all submodules. Your local copy will have the master branch checked out and whichever sha1 commit of the related submodules was last specified for that branch. The master branch is a few commits ahead of the v1.2.101 tag, but as far as I know the commits don't represent changes to the working code, though I'll need to verify. Either way, to checkout the latest official release (v1.2.101): git checkout -b [local_branch_name] v1.2.101 ... will checkout the latest tagged release using whatever name you chose as the name of the local branch (which can be the same as the tag name if you want). If you don't necessarily need a local branch to work from (hack on code, commit locally, push to remote repo) you can simply run: git checkout v1.2.101 ... which will leave your local repository in a detached HEAD state which is fine if you have no plans to make changes to the code base that needs to tracked as part of a specific branch. If you do make changes that need to be tracked as part of a branch you can run: git checkout -b [local_branch_name] ... when in the detached head state. Any commits you've already made and all future commits made while you have this branch checked out will be tracked by that branch which you can then merge into another branch when ready and/or push to a remote repo. Alvaro will need to comment on which of the development (SPDY, dev, or new-events) branches represents his current workflow, but my assumption is that the dev branch is where all of the other branches have or will get merged into. So to switch to the bleeding edge: git checkout -b [local_branch_name] dev With all of the above you'll want need to run: git submodule update ... to ensure all submodules match the sha1 committed to the index for the related branch. We need to update the docs with clear how-to on this. Can't find > such in the documentation. > Agreed. I'll add it to my task list, though can you specify whether the above adequately answers your question? -- /M:D M.
