I know how to deal with hg. Now that there is a transition to git, I would like to learn how to achieve the same results. Access to building new drivers with the same running kernel. My concern is that I have 2 device types (HVR-1600 and HD-PVR) and one of the devs has submitted their latest bits via git and I didn't see it ported over to the hg tree. While I realize everything takes time - I thought I would check into git and see if I could deal with it. When development moves to git, how do I replace that ability?

I don't get GIT
Hi Linux Media, As an end user I am most interested in updating specific drivers for my system. Most distros, that I know of, only bump kernel versions by releasing a new version of the distro. As development move to the GIT repository, how do I as an end user pull the drivers and compile for my current running kernel? I am not too interested in compiling the whole kernel just to get the fixes of the drivers. NOTE: The sole reason this server exists is to provide TV and media distribution in the home. When I read through Mauro's announcement of the GIT repository it seemed to indicate that this feature wasn't available. Although I could have read that incorrectly. Thanks in advance for the answers!

We still have mercurial tree available which became the backport tree. Basically, almost daily this tree is synced with git tree and backported some drivers to work with old kernels.
