I’ve never used git before, but I’d like to download the android source code as I’m getting a crash in the 2.2 emulator and I’d like to see exactly where in the android source code it’s crashing (so I can file a better bug report).
Edit A decent answer would include instructions on using git to download a specific repository. I’m on windows, but have installed Msysgit.
I’m not entirely sure it’s right, but I’ve done the following (in msysgit):
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/frameworks/base.git;h=refs/heads/froyo-release
Edit: I now notice that there are two tags – froyo & froyo-release. I’m not sure which one to ues, so I’m downloading them both. Can anyone tell me what the differences are?
