Hi Andrew,

Thanks for that.  Those instructions say:

*******************************
To checkout the latest source code using git use the git command below, which will include some additional files not in the tarfile. Note that the development branch for EPICS 7 is called core/master, and some of the submodules are fetched from Launchpad while others are on Github:

git clone --recursive -b core/master https://git.launchpad.net/epics-base base-7.0
*******************************

Suppose I do that, but then I don't want to work on the master branch, but rather to work on the R7.01.-rc1 tag.  Can I do that now, or do I need to wait until those tags propagate to Github?

I like to work with a git checkout because it is then easy to find all my local changes, look at file history, etc.  If I were to work from Launchpad as Ralph suggested then would I need to learn how to use bazaar?

Any idea why a git clone using ssh ([email protected]:epics-base/epics/base) does not work, while it works fine for areaDetector/areaDetector?  Is this a permissions problem?

Thanks,
Mark
