Question

Thank you. From the link http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit, there are these 3 steps in checking out Webkit using git.

Which step i need to change to specify checkout a right version of Webkit for chromium?

Thank you.

git clone git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git WebKit
cd WebKit
git svn init -T trunk http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit
git update-ref refs/remotes/trunk origin/master
git svn fetch

Answer 1

git fetch origin <branch name>
git checkout <branch name>
git pull --tags # pulls all tags from the remote repo
git checkout <tag name> # checks out that tag from the remote repo

This will pull down the tag from the git repo and then checkout that tag into your working copy. This is assuming of course that the git repo has these tags or branches to fetch and checkout.

If the git repo does not have those tags you will have to use the git svn commands to do it.

$ REF=$(git svn find-rev r<revision>) git checkout $REF
$ git checkout -b <branchname> # if you want to create  branch from this commit
$ git tag <tagname> # if you want to create a tag from this commit

git svn find-rev finds the git commit ref for the svn revision specified.
