However, cloning that repo does not work... $ git clone https://git.centos.org/summary/centos-git-common.git Initialized empty Git repository in /data/leonard/srcothers/centos/centos-git-common/.git/ warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. What am I missing? And then there remains the question: git checkout for a package gathers the spec file and patches, so why do we need a script to get the source tarball when all that is stopping it from getting checked out is an entry in .gitignore? A whole script to undo that one entry in .gitignore? What's the idea behind this? Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
