git获取远端版本库上的Tag (没有clone[远端的版本库太大了])

方法一

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25815202/git-fetch-a-single-commit

The git fetch command delivers references (names, not raw commit-IDs) to the remote, more or less.

(More specifically, use git ls-remote remotename to see what the remote is willing to give you in terms of names.

This produces a list of SHA-1s on the left with names on the right, and the only thing your fetch can ask for is the names-on-the-right.

At which point you'll get the ID-on-the-left if the name on the remote still points to that ID, so it depends on how actively that remote gets updated.)

It is possible, in various ways, to deliver raw commit-IDs to a remote and ask that remote what is visible starting from that point,

and sometimes working backwards through history as well, but not via git fetch.

(You can use git archive but the remote can decide whether or not to allow you to access via raw commit-IDs;

or with remotes that have web server access, including to specific commits, you can often just view the top-level contents of a commit,

and use that to "drill down", as they say, to the various pieces. But that is a very slow way to do it.)

If you'd like to use git fetch to get some particular commit, probably the easiest way to do that is to have someone with access to the remote attach a name—most likely a tag—to that commit ID.

Then you can have your git fetch bring over that refspec, and put it under any other refspec you like.

For instance, suppose you can ssh directly to whatever hosts origin:

$ ssh our.origin.host 'cd /repos/repo.git; git tag temporary f1e32e1'
[enter password, etc; observe tag created]
$ git fetch origin refs/tags/temporary:refs/heads/newbranch
[observe fetch happen; now you have local branch 'newbranch']
$ ssh our.origin.host 'cd /repos/repo.git; git tag -d temporary'

Note that the name need not be a branch, it need only be a reference you can pull over with git fetch and see with git ls-remote.

You then use a name that will match that on the left-hand-side of your refspec when fetching.

The name created in your repo is controlled by the right-hand-side of the refspec (refs/heads/newbranch in the example above).

This is also the answer to your last paragraph question: you can only name things that have names on the remote (this is partly intended to avoid "leaking" unnamed commits that remain in a repository before garbage-collection, so it's considered a feature rather than a bug). These names go on the LHS of the refspec. Your own names go on the right.

Your name on the right is assumed to be a branch or tag name (based on what the name on the left matches, though you can explicitly spell out refs/heads/ or refs/tags/ to override it), so even though f1e32e1... is a valid SHA-1, it's treated as a branch name here—the missing name on the left translates to HEAD, as missing names almost always do—and git fetch creates a branch whose name is disturbingly SHA-1-ish. (Incidentally I once created a branch name that looked like an SHA-1, and later confused myself. I forget exactly what the name was, something like de-beadwithout the hyphen. I renamed it to the hyphenated version just to make it clear I didn't mean a raw commit ID! :-) )

貌似是无解的，远端必须给第一个commit起了名字，或者创建分支，或者Tag

才能通过fetch来获取

1. 本地初始化一个版本库

git init

2.添加远端

git remote add origin https://github.com/git/git.git

3.参照上面的链接处理

git ls-remote origin >origin.txt

把git ls-remote origin的结果输出到origin.txt的文件中

或者

git fetch origin v0.99

这个命令不会出错，但是本地没有代码，也找不到方法把代码弄出来。【因为本地一次提交都没有，是没有HEAD的】

$ git rev-list FETCH_HEAD --count

$ git reset --hard d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a   【这个也没啥用】

方法二   仅仅检出Tag所对应的commit

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20280726/how-to-git-clone-a-specific-tag   链接中的第二个方法

本地只有一个commit，无法用git status,git log,git branch

$ git clone -b v0.99 --depth 1 https://github.com/git/git.git

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b new_branch_name

===================方法二=============

方法三

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20280726/how-to-git-clone-a-specific-tag    链接中的第一个方法

git clone --branch v0.99 https://github.com/git/git.git git5

这个不太可行，是先clone，然后再自动切换，还是把整个版本库弄下来了

===================方法三=============

方法四

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/791959/download-a-specific-tag-with-git

mkdir git6

cd git6

 git init

 git remote add origin https://github.com/git/git.git

提取Tag

d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a refs/tags/v0.99

From https://github.com/git/git
* tag v0.99 -> FETCH_HEAD

git tag v0.99 FETCH_HEAD

之后使用tortoisegit 切换到Tag v0.99

在这个目录下，各种命令好像都无法执行了。命令和文件的名字貌似重复了

先用tortoisegit在第一个commit上创建分支first  【其实可以直接创建成master】

切换到first分支，然后重命名分支为master

git branch -m first master

实战二：linux系统的代码获取

1.在github上新建一个版本库LinuxStudy

2.然后clone到本地

3.git remote add torvalds https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git
4.git ls-remote origin >origin.txt

定位到的最小的Tag是   5dc01c595e6c6ec9ccda4f6f69c131c0dd945f8c refs/tags/v2.6.11
