As I stated before, the primary motivation that got me involved in git was to help people who do Linux kernel, so any question regarding the Linus kernel tree extracted from a copy of his git repository is welcome here, at least to me. I do not know Cogito very well. I keep the latest Cogito source around all the time so that I can figure things out whenever need arises by reading it. Most of the time, I would not offhand know answers to questions like "what does cg-rm do and what's the difference between it and 'cvs rm'". Using the core GIT tools only, the sequence of what you did would have been: ------------------------------------------------ $ git clone && cd $ git checkout -b jdl master $ rm include/asm-ppc/sockios.h $ rm include/asm-ppc/socket.h $ rm include/asm-ppc64/sockios.h $ rm include/asm-ppc64/socket.h $ git add include/asm-powerpc/sockios.h $ git add include/asm-powerpc/socket.h $ git commit -a -s ------------------------------------------------
