can't see the kernel source,why

[tao zhang]

hi:
i am a newer to android.i want to build the android kernel.i clone the
git repository,using "git clone http://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git".when
it is done.i got a dir called common,but there is just a .git dir
entry in in,which size is 484MiB.i found a git package in the path
common/.git/objects/pack/ and wanted to unpack it using git unpack-
objects.But i got nothing when the unpacking finished.
my question is:
how can i get the source file of the andorid kernel?where is my
fault?
thanks!

run git branch -a to see which branches are available, then git
checkout on the one you want.

I met the same problem before. The default branch is master, but had nothing. I had to checkout manually.

That's done on purpose. There's no notion of master branch in the
kernel (and there's not even a notion of current development branch),
but the various tools we use don't work if there's no master branch,
so we add an empty master branch to make the tools happy.

OK, I see.

Jean-Baptiste,

I just ran into the same problem.  I'd suggest changing the language on the web page to clarify that a branch has to be checked out, and that the master branch is empty.

Thanks,

Mark

I'm not maintaining that documentation any more, but AFAIK the source files for s.a.c are open for contribution at https://android.googlesource.com/platform/docs/source.android.com/+/master/src/source/building-kernels.jd
