RoR People,

I looked at this URL:  
[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/)

I see that I can do this:  
git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git

I tried it and it gave me RoR 2.1.

How do I git clone rails 1-2-stable ?  
What is the URL?

RoR People,

I tried this:  
git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git  
cd rails  
git branch -r (to see a list of releases)  
I saw:  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$ git branch -r  
origin/1-2-stable  
origin/2-0-stable  
origin/2-1-stable  
origin/HEAD  
origin/master  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
I did:  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$ git checkout  
origin/1-2-stable  
Note: moving to “origin/1-2-stable” which isn’t a local branch  
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so  
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:  
git checkout -b \<new\_branch\_name\>  
HEAD is now at 5b3f756… Remove wasteful signal trap from  
transactions. Backport from 2-0-stable.

mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$

mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$ head railties/CHANGELOG  
_SVN_

- Update rails:freeze:gems to work with RubyGems 0.9.5. [Jeremy K.]

_1.2.6_ (November 24th, 2007)

- Fix :cookie\_only to correctly avoid session fixation attacks  
(CVE-2007-6077)

- Fix regression where the association would not construct new finder  
SQL on save causing bogus queries for “WHERE owner\_id = NULL” even after  
owner was saved.  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$  
mac2:/pt/w/mmhq/git\_of\_RoR/rails maco$

I now have a copy of 1-2-stable (1.2.6 actually) and I am happy!
