Git repositories without master tag
Subject: Git repositories without master tag
Hi,
I tried to fetch all machine readable files from certain repositories
(relevant for Blends) and I followed the approach to cd into a Git
repository and doing for instance:
git show HEAD:debian/changelog
there. This works in the most cases with some exceptions. One of it
is for instance cernlib and when I do
git clone git://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/cernlib.git
I see the reason. The checkout dir does not show a debian/ directory
and I need to checkout a certain tag "debian/*" before this dir becomes
visible. I do not know whether it is a strong requirement but wouldn't
it be more comfortable to have a master tag which presents the latest
state of packaging more easily.
Could you either fix these repositories or just give me a hint how I can
easily fetch the latest changelog, control, copyright and upstream files
without cloning the whole repository?
Kind regards
Andreas.
