A long time, people (I forget who) on this list asked for tag releases. So, you can find the release you're able to find releases by doing
git tag -l To clone the version you're looking for do something like git clone --branch 3.30.33.14 --depth 1 https://github.com/v8/v8-git-mirror.git It'll leave you in a detached HEAD state. Or if you already have aIl the repo history downloaded, you can do git checkout 3.30.33.14 On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 3:53 PM, Domenic Denicola <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks very much for the info. > > On Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 6:27:11 PM UTC-5, Jakob Kummerow wrote: >> >> Like any embedder, they should be using *the tip of the branch that's >> used in stable Chrome*.
