I tried every incarnation of git clone based on http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/GIT and still couldn't get it to work - eg: git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging/arch git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging/tree/arch git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging/ git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/arch also tried without the username...

Resolving deltas: 100% (8226/8226), done.  I cannot believe the only issue that kept it from working the first time was the trailing '/'! Compare:  Unsuccessful: git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging/  Successful: git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging  So is there no way to clone 'arch' alone, you have to pull the whole tde-packaging tree? The size isn't that much, but the bandwidth is very slow. Being able to clone a single distro's build scripts would eliminate over 50% of the demand on tde-packaging cloning.

I'm sure it works out, I just don't know enough comparatively to see it. Regardless, we have git now, we will just make due with what it provides. At some point in the future, if the distro build dirs grow in size, it might be worth configuring them as individual modules under tde-packaging to allow individual cloning. -- David C.
