I've moved my overlay into git. The repository is available for anonymous checkout: git clone http://people.freedesktop.org/~spyderous/overlay.git If you have a login on this box, you can instead do: git clone git+ssh://${USER}@people.freedesktop.org/~spyderous/public_html/overlay.git To update a checkout: git pull Some git howtos are available in the git documentation. In particular, see index.html tutorial.html everyday.html cvs-migration.html Others exist online. http://freedesktop.org/wiki/UsingGit http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2006-February/006353.html
