Hi all, I just installed git and cogito from Ubuntu Drapper, performed a simple cg-clone git://URItoLinus2.6 linux2.6 and aftwer more or less one hour I had a clone of Linus 2.6 tree. So far so good.

What I want to do is to simply keep my repository aligned with Linus so I simply have to do: cd linus2.6 cg-fetch

How can I confg git in order to, by default,  use git instead of rsync ?

Now my dumb question is... since I want to build that kernel do I have to locally clone/copy it in order to don't modify any file on my local tree? If I don't do so, I guess git/cogito will not be happy when I run cg-fetch, right?

Thanks!
