I do not think you understood what I am trying to advertise. The unification. In other words: If I use kernel.org, I use git tool. If I use YOCTO Poky, I would like to use git tool. For all YOCTO repos, I would like to use git tool. Not repo, kas, or other tools. Not particular tools, assigned to particular tasks, for particular build systems. Since I would like to invest time and effort in ONLY one, comprehensive tool, and discard all other tools which are not up to the complex challenges I have. So this is why I sent initial email, in first place, Thank you, Zoran _______ On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 12:25 PM Josef Holzmayr <holzm...@rsi-elektrotechnik.de> wrote: > > Hello Zoran, > > On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 12:00:22PM +0100, Zoran Stojsavljevic wrote: > > I am (almost) perfectly aligned with kernel.org, and I (personally) > > decided to use git.
