git intro request


  • Subject: git intro request

So I'm an avid svn and cvs user, and last night, I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out how to use git. At this point, I'm not sure if I was using it incorrectly or freedesktop.org has restrictions on what anonymous users can do. I figured out how to clone the master head of xserver via:

git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver.git

but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to switch to the xorg- server-1.2-apple head. Could someone please put together a mini 'Hey dummy, if you just RTFM for 5 more hours, you'll learn to do _______'. I know I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure there are others who want to contribute but don't want to spend all day learning a new poorly documented version control system.

Thanks,
Jeremy
