RE: [GIT/PATCH 0/5] Re: [Xen-devel] unfair servicing of DomU vbd request

Hi Ian:
 
   Sorry to bother again.
   I've learnt git a bit, but still quite confused.
   I've done the operation below, which in my understanding, I've merged
irq-fairness branch into master. But the code is not complete, I need merge
more, as your said, such as Konrad's 2.6.38 branch. Well, I have no idea what kinds
of branch I need, and how to find them, do the branches exist in "git branch -r" or
some place else?
 
 

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

$ cd linux-2.6

linux-2.6$ git remote add ianc git://xenbits.xen.org/people/ianc/linux-2.6.git

linux-2.6$ git fetch ianc

linux-2.6$ git merge ianc/irq-fairness

 
Git is not easy to learn, espescially on understaning kernel source management.
many thanks.
