Howdy folks,
Occasionally I need to grab an older release from git based on a tag
rather than a branch, eg the REL8_3_10 tag vs the REL8_3_STABLE
branch. I used to know how to do this in CVS, but I find I tend to
revert to grabbing tarballs now that we're on git. So, I'm wondering
if anyone knows a way to do this directly from git clone (or similar),
and ideally as a shallow clone (ie. I just need a copy of the code at
that tag, rather than needing the repo for development purposes). If
anyone knew a way to do this down to a specific commit, that would
also be interesting to know. Thanks in advance.
I just did this:
$ git-new-workdir postgresql/.git/ tmp
Checking out files: 100% (3903/3903), done.
$ cd tmp
$ git checkout REL8_3_10
That does use a shadow clone. Basically, git checkout assumes a tag,
unless you -b for a branch.
or just something like:
mkdir ../pg8.3.10 && git archive --format=tar REL8_3_10 | tar -C
../pg8.3.10 -xf -
since he says he doesn't need the git infrastructure.
cheers
