The following changes since commit 338a95a95508537e23c82d59a2d87be6fde4b6ff:

drm/radeon/sumo: implement support for disable_gfx_power_gating_in_uvd flag (2013-07-03 17:37:31 -0400)

are available in the git repository at: git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux drm-next-3.11

trying to get your tree, Git says there are no common commits with Linus’ tree. Do you have an idea, why?

    $ git describe torvalds/master
    v3.10-5851-gb2c3110
    $ git remote add alexdeuscher git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux
    $ git fetch alexdeuscher
    warning: no common commits
    […]

What do not I understand about Git? Should not there be a lot of common commits and downloading the whole tree *not* be necessary.

thanks to olesalscheider in #radeon on <irc.freenode.net>, I should have also told Git what branch to fetch. (I did not even know that works. ;-)) So doing the following worked.

$ git fetch alexdeuscher drm-next-3.11

Thanks,

Paul
