The command line commands you suggested, started the
download. When
the first password message appeared and it stopped
downloading--I
Ctrl+C'd and stoped the download.
Then I edited the script
"./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean" and
added what
David suggested (i.e adding --recursive to several lines and
removing
--recursive from your startup script).
Then I ran the modified startup scrip you suggested.
This did NOT give me an error message and displayed
"Already
up-to-date." which I assume relates to what I had
previously
downloaded before I killed the command line startup you
suggested.
Then it said:
Cloning into experimental...
Password:
Hoping this was a onetime password I pressed enter. It
ran for less
than a minute and wanted another password.
Obviously what you and David suggested works--but the
password problem
did not go away.
Hmm. I never used a password until very recently when I was granted commit access. Up
until then I always connected anonymously. I wonder whether entering a password just once
has an effect that prevents anonymous connections.
If I recall correctly, when I first connected a few days after the GIT announcement in
December, I manually created the local GIT directory (mkdir), did a cd to that directory
and manually ran git clone --- without a script. Like this, but all manually:
mkdir -p /home/public/builds/slackware/trinity/zz_src_trinity_git
cd /home/public/builds/slackware/trinity
git clone --recursive http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde zz_src_trinity_git
Notice I did a cd to the parent directory of $GIT_DIR (zz_src_trinity_git) before running
the clone command.
Took a couple of hours. Thereafter I never again used git clone, instead using
switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean, like this:
cd /home/public/builds/slackware/trinity/zz_src_trinity_git
sh ./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean anonymous
After a few times I automated the latter process into a script with a few bells and
whistles.
I wonder whether manually deleting all of the "config" files would clean the
local repository:
find $GIT_DIR -type f -name config -exec rm -f {} \;
Then perform a clone:
cd $GIT_DIR_ROOT
git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde $GIT_DIR
I'm using GIT 1.7.1.
Now that I am using a password I wonder whether I can connect anonymously. I'll try
that the next day or two when I rsync my local tree.
