Hi

I think you are misunderstanding how this works.

git contains only the parts of the rpm like patches and the spec file. You don't check out the sources as part of the git checkout, you use get-sources.sh that pulls the tarball down from a lookaside cache. So when you run your git format-patch, it thinks that everything that get-sources.sh put there is new so it wants to upload it...

Which brings us to the other misunderstanding. You'll find that git.c.o is readonly. Only Redhat have commit access to it.

Hi Team,

I am trying to contribute to the existing Git repos.

I have followed the process from the below link

https://wiki.centos.org/Sources
[user@host]$ git clone  https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/kernel.git 
cd kernel
# let's work on the centos7 kernel
[user@host]$ git checkout c7
[user@host]$ ~/bin/get_sources.sh
# switch to the local tree to edit
[user@host]$ git checkout -b my-kernel
# make edits to SPEC file, etc 
[user@host]$ git commit -m 'my local change' -a
This command ~/bin/get_sources.sh has downloaded the xxxx.tar.gz file in the SOURCES directory.

Now I have extracted the tar file and did the changes.

At this stage If I commit then I have to include all the extracted files.

If I run git format-patch c7 it generate the file which includes all the files.

Please guide me how to contribute to the existing GIT REPOS.

Thanks and Regards,

Amarjeet Singh
