Hi,

I tried to update the branch but I am not at ease with git.
I used to only call :
git clone http://git.gitorious.org/orocos-toolchain/orocos_toolchain.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

But I can't succed getting the toolchain-2.5 branch. I tried "git
clone -b toolchain-2.5
http://git.gitorious.org/orocos-toolchain/orocos_toolchain.git" but I
think this can't work because only submodules seems to have such a
branch.
Is the only solution to go in each folder to swtich branch ?
