It's mainly used for testing glibc's master branch, but with all the patches that we need on top of it, and also for development and sharing of (Hurd-specific) glibc patches. This repository uses [[TopGit]]. History: *A plan for the Hurd-specific glibc repository*, [[!message-id "878wbp81ed.fsf@dirichlet.schwinge.homeip.net"]]. # Relation to Debian glibc For a lot of topic branches there is a correspondence to a Debian glibc patch, and vice-versa, which is also indicated by the Debian glibc patch files' names. Debian glibc is based on EGLIBC 2.13 and the Savannah hurd/glibc.git one is tracking sourceware master. The Savannah hurd/glibc.git one does not/not yet include [[libpthread|open_issues/libpthread]], [[open_issues/packaging_libpthread]]. # Usage ## Clone $ git init $ git remote add savannah git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/glibc.git $ git remote update $ tg remote --populate savannah tg: Remote savannah can now follow TopGit topic branches. tg: Populating local topic branches from remote 'savannah'...

Has the branch been removed from the origin remote? Yes, has been deleted (on Savannah) on 2013-09-22. Are you somehow referencing that branch? tschwinge: tg remote --populate origin braunr: Then I'd guess that Samuel has removed that branch but it is still referenced in some other branch's .topdeps file. I'll have a look (but don't hold your breath.) tschwinge: sure
