Hm it can be that I did something wrong but I simply followed advice seen in one of threads on lkml:
" Dmitry: you cannot just "git pull" on linux-next, because each version of linux-next is independent of the next one. What you should do is basically
# Set this up just once.. git remote add linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git
and then after that, you keep on just doing
git fetch linux-next git checkout linux-next/master "
This is from today:
$ git fetch linux-next remote: Counting objects: 3749, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (748/748), done. Indexing 2309 objects... remote: Total 2309 (delta 1918), reused 1951 (delta 1560) 100% (2309/2309) done Resolving 1918 deltas... 100% (1918/1918) done 496 objects were added to complete this thin pack. * refs/remotes/linux-next/history: fast forward to branch 'history' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next old..new: b26fb88..75f1411 * refs/remotes/linux-next/master: forcing update to non-fast forward branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next old...new: 703d73f...f1d3dea * refs/remotes/linux-next/stable: fast forward to branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next old..new: dd28642..7371fd1 Auto-following refs/tags/next-20080516 * refs/tags/next-20080516: storing tag 'next-20080516' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next commit: f1d3dea
$ git checkout linux-next/master HEAD is now at f1d3dea... Add linux-next specific files
$ git bisect start fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref Bad HEAD - I need a symbolic ref
