what are you trying to do? What repo do you mean? We don't have chromiumos/third_party repo. Maybe you added a wrong component? 

We do have hostap as a repo, don't we?

Eric just wants a branch in there that tracks upstream hostap_2_6 branch.

Charlene, who would be the right person in your team to manage such a branch?

Pass to deputy to take a look

<sigh> missed this because of various crises.

Passing to this week's primary deputy...

Prathmesh, paul, do you have any ideas how to do that? I don't think I have the permission to add a branch to that repo

cros-infra team doesn't have branch create permissions.

Infra>Git is the right component for this request.
See issue 674607 for example.
This request is special in that you want only a single branch mirrored.

Ping? We'd like to get this branch set up ASAP. Who should this be assigned to?

I'm the cros infra git liason. Will take a look.

Do you just want a branch created at a given hash? That's easy?

If you want mirroring, that's more work to set up.

"That's easy." was meant to be a statement, not a question.

I don't see an existing hostap_2_6 tag. This highest I see of that naming scheme is hostap_2_5

-> OP for clarification. If you're talking about mirroring, please specify more info about the remote and branch where "upstream" is supposed to come from. Otherwise, just give me the git hash at which you want the branch created.

Reassign to me when clarified.

Our hostap repo has two remotes:

(cr) ((c742de326...)) ejcaruso@ejcaruso ~/trunk/src/third_party/wpa_supplicant $ git remote -v show                                                                                                                                                                                  
cros    https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hostap (fetch)
cros    https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hostap (push)
upstream        git://w1.fi/hostap.git (fetch)
upstream        git://w1.fi/hostap.git (push)

I'd like to have a branch for cros at the hostap_2_6 tag from the upstream remote. The git hash for that is 2462f347bca0a7cce7e06ff88adbe3aa47c52d54. I don't think any mirroring or fancy complicated stuff is necessary since I don't expect that to change :P

Done.
