[Gumstix-users] Overo build system

[gumstick <gu...@ra...>]

I apologize in advance for apparently being an idiot, but I'm trying to
follow the instructions at
http://www.gumstix.net/Overo/view/Overo/Setting-up-a-build-environment/115.h
tml for the Overo build system checkout and I can't even get past the git
checkout part. My host system is a Debian etch installation.  The following
is my terminal output:

 

dev@rasa75:~$ mkdir -p ~/overo-oe

dev@rasa75:~$ cd ~/overo-oe

dev@rasa75:~/overo-oe$ git clone git://gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git
org.openembedded.dev

dev@rasa75:~/overo-oe$ cd org.openembedded.dev

dev@rasa75:~/overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev$ git checkout --track -b overo
origin/overo

Usage: /usr/bin/git-checkout [-f] [-b <new_branch>] [-m] [<branch>]
[<paths>...]

dev@rasa75:~/overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev$ git-checkout --track -b overo
origin/overo

Usage: /usr/bin/git-checkout [-f] [-b <new_branch>] [-m] [<branch>]
[<paths>...]

dev@rasa75:~/overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev$ git checkout -b overo
origin/overo

git checkout: branch overo already exists

dev@rasa75:~/overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev$

 

I get a complaint about the usage.  I thought maybe the --track option made
git unhappy, but when I leave it out I get a message saying the overo branch
already exists.

 

Am I missing something?  I don't do much open-source development so I'm very
weak when it comes to all the scm tools, although I haven't had any trouble
with subversion and the Verdex buildroot and OE stuff.  Sorry for the
blatant 'please hold my hand' request, but does anybody recognize what I'm
doing wrong here?
