<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to obtain the R7.1 release via "git"
...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a complete "git" newbie (as are probably 99% of
the devlopment world) so bear with me please.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I see the "git_xorg" script instructions from the
wiki, but that appears to get the "HEAD" (excuse the cvs
terminology).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I see that the CVS repository was tagged with
"XORG-7_1" before it's demise (but that won't git me the .git info to use for
diffs, submitting patches, etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also searched the mail archives and found this <A
href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-June/015779.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-June/015779.html</A> ...
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So ... what's my "best practice" here? (and I can't
really rely upon the HEAD for _our_ release stability reasons)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, some of my initial work has turned up some
minor patches necessary for HP 11.00 building (still not complete). AIX 5.1 will
come after that.</FONT></DIV>
