After cloning from one: git remote add remotename git://... git fetch remotename You will now have the other repository fetched into your local repository; tags from both will be replicated to your local tags. ``` ## A Large Angry SCM, 2009-01-19 02:18 Subject: Re: how to track multiple upstreams in one repository Message-ID: <4973E2F7.2090104@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4973E2F7.2090104%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` david@lang.hm wrote: > for linux I want to track both the linus tree and the -stable tree. > Ideally I want to be able to do a checkout of tags from either tree from > the same directory (along with diffs between items in both trees, etc) > > I have found documentation on how to clone from each of them, but I > haven't found any simple documentation on how to work with both of them.

It also uses remote branches, and rewrites the refs to something like: stable/v2.6.25/master or torvalds/v2.6/master. Also in order to fetch them I use git fetch stable/v2.6.25 Ciprian Craciun. ``` ## Julian Phillips, 2009-01-19 16:29 Subject: Re: how to track multiple upstreams in one repository Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.LNX.2.00.0901191627480.4115%40reaper.quantumfyre.co.uk In-Reply-To: ``` On Sun, 18 Jan 2009, david@lang.hm wrote: > for linux I want to track both the linus tree and the -stable tree.

You could always just use git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git ?
