gcc_update, when called from newly initialized and pulled tree does not work:
--cut here-- $ contrib/gcc_update Updating GIT tree There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to rebase against. See git-pull(1) for details. git pull <remote> <branch> If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with: git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> master Adjusting file timestamps git pull of full tree failed. --cut here-- I would also appreciate a simple step-by step instructions on how to set-up the local repo and basic workflow with git for "non-power" users, as was the case with now obsolete instructions for anonymous SVN r/o access [1] and r/w access [2]. Basically, push-my-first-patch example. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html [2] https://gcc.gnu.org/svnwrite.html Thanks, Uros.
