In working through a usage example on my way to producing bonafide
patches, I've found that commit is complaining. Here's what I've done.
o Fetched and built cogito-0.12
o Fetched (rsync) Linus' tree
o Created a working directory, linux-2.6
o linked .git in the working directory to the .git directory fetched
from the net.
o # git checkout -f v2.6.11
o # cat ../old-patch-file | patch -p1
Then, according to Jeff's instructions, I have to perform
get-update-cache with the name of each file I changed. Is that really
the way?
o # git-update-cache LIST_OF_CHANGED_FILES
Now I commit.
o # git commit
I am presented with an editor session with the list of changed files
already present. IfI add a comment and leave the editor, I'm told
fatal: 5dc01c595e6c6ec9ccda4f6f69c131c0dd945f8c is not a valid 'commit'
object
If I don't edit the comment, it doesn't give an error but I don't
think the changes are committed because I can invoke git commit again.
Am I off track?
Cheers.
