That is actually where I started, but it kept doing a full clone, so I
revisited what I did.

The tag, according to the davinci gitorious website is
"v3.7-davinci1", so I tried that first but Buildroot returned:

>>> linux v3.7-davinci1 Downloading
/bin/bash: line 0: test: refs/tags/v3.7-davinci1: unary operator expected
Doing full clone
Cloning into bare repository 'linux-v3.7-davinci1'...

I didn't notice the error before so I investigated package/pkg-download.mk.

$ git ls-remote git://gitorious.org/linux-davinci/linux-davinci.git |
cut -f 2- | grep v3.7-davinci1

refs/tags/v3.7-davinci1
refs/tags/v3.7-davinci1^{}

It returns two separate strings, and this causes the test function to
fail and drop through to a full clone.

Here is a fix:

 	   $(GIT) clone --depth 1 -b $($(PKG)_DL_VERSION) --bare
$($(PKG)_SITE) $($(PKG)_BASE_NAME)) || \
 	  (echo "Doing full clone" && \

Shall I post a patch? (I use gmail, so it tends to word wrap the patch)

regards,

Aras Vaichas
