I see.

A "working directory" is the copy of the content of a specific revision
that you have on your computer.

"Clone repository" is how you get your copy starting from a git repository.

The instructions I gave were about the command line tool.

Given what you said, maybe you want to try the "github for mac": you can
get it at http://mac.github.com/.

Unfortunately I never used it, so I cannot help, but I think that it
should be easy to use.

Remember that "clone" retrieve the whole repository from the net, while
"checkout" allows to move inside the repository to get a specific revision.

To do what you want to do, you want the whole repository (this is how
you get a specific revision with git).

Bests,

I have no experience with GitHub and I do not know how to narrow the issue down to a specific patch. With CVS I used to download the source from different dates to see where a specific issue appeared. Can that be done here as well? How?
