Hi Guys,
I am a newbie to mediawiki, I was following the instructions on this page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git
After cloning the gir repository on my desktop, there is no ".git" folder in it.
Henceforth any of the following commands on that page like
git branch -r | sort -V or git checkout -b REL<release number> origin/REL<release number>
are returning error.
Can some body please guide me through these errors ?
Cheers, Anubhav

Anubhav, you have to 'cd' into the directory created by git-clone.

Really Sorry, I didn't notice they were there.

I have an alternative question. Why is there "-b" in the options? Git should automatically create local branches when checking out a remote branch, i.e., doing git checkout REL1_20 should automatically create a branch with that name based on origin/REL1_20.

Only if you have branch.autosetupmerge configured to true
