The error message is fatal: not a git repository

Same for git branch -a.

Al this follows what looked like a successful git clone  command

 Can you paste an error message?  Also, the output of the following command
 should help:

 $ git branch -a

A quick muppet check here: you *did* change directory into the newly cloned
folder..?  If you're cloning the kernel tree, it'll be called kernel, but
you can tell it a different name if you want.

git checkout

2009-05-26 Thread Iain B. Findleton
I confess to not being too familiar with git, however, the web site says
to use the command:

git checkout origin/andy-tracking

after cloning the kernel project.

This does not work for me. I suspect that origin must be something
else. Any suggestions?
