Run it as an unprivileged user, e.g. inside your home directory or a projects folder. The exact git command is what it says on the page: git clone -b drm-i915-update-38 \ https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics.git > I don't want to mess up by git-cloning from the wrong directory. > Also, does this prevent future updates to src tree with svn? This is a separate experimental source tree. You could copy it over an existing source tree at the time of the fork (e.g. using tar, also including .git) and then svn update on top of this as well as git pull, but unless you have a good reason, that's not worth the effort/trouble and you just go with that branch until the changes get merged into HEAD. - Michael -- Michael Gmelin
