[Xen-devel] Test harness git clone: "unable to checkout"
When I run: git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/osstest.git I get: Cloning into osstest... remote: Counting objects: 3971, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2685/2685), done. remote: Total 3971 (delta 2627), reused 1890 (delta 1259) Receiving objects: 100% (3971/3971), 648.25 KiB | 337 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (2627/2627), done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. Is there a fix or workaround?

Instead you should manually checkout the head corresponding to the flight you are interested in. Check out "git remote -r"''s output and e.g. git checkout -b fligh-8416 origin/flight-8416 Ian. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

The steps are: git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/osstest.git osstest cd osstest git branch -r <pick your flight> <checkout a flight> e.g. git checkout -b flight-8645 origin/flight-8645 Thanks, Todd _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

This keeps coming up. I have pushed the current tested branch to
master in the public git, and also arranged (I hope!) for this to be
done automatically in future.
Ian.
