You just need to do git checkout master after the git clone. This
gives you the version the master branch in the stable repo points to
at the time of the cloning.
To update your local master branch later, just do git pull.

git unpack-objects is usually not directly needed by users. It's
called by git internally though.

Thanks Mirco, after doing git checkout and git pull on cloned Linux
git repo, I can see all the Linux source files. The problem got
resolved for Linux tree but for android repository, I am still facing
issues.

That's different, you need to check out the specific android kernel repo
you want to use, by the branch name.

The android kernel tree is "wierd" that way, try doing this:
	git checkout android-3.0
and you should be fine.

Even better yet, do this:
	git checkout -t -b android-3.0 origin/android-3.0

which creates a "tracking branch" for this branch of their kernel tree,
which will let you handle things when they update it in the future to
newer releases.

Hope this helps,
