Git Tree
========
The grub2 packaging is maintained via the pkg-grub project on alioth:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-grub/
The primary git tree is pkg-grub/grub.git. It can be obtained with:
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-grub/grub.git
Git Submodules
--------------
grub.git/debian/grub-extras is maintained as a git submodule. After
cloning the main repository you should run:
git submodule update --init
To initialise this tree. See git-submodule(1) for more info.
If you are using a tool such as git-buildpackage(1) then you will need to tell
it explicitly that it needs to consider submodules, by passing the
--git-submodules option.
Git Branches
------------
pkg-grub/grub.git uses git-dpm and contains the following branches:
- upstream:
The master branch of the upstream grub.git tree, at the point
corresponding to the current Debian package version.
- master:
The main packaging branch, based on upstream. debian/patches
maintained using git-dpm.
- pristine-tar:
pritine-tar metadata based on upstream (not upstream).
