How to install a specific git version using git sdk installer?

[webmaster33]

How can I install a specific git version using git sdk installer?
git-sdk-64-installer-1.0.0-rc-1.7z.exe

Currently installs:
$ git --version
git version 2.4.0.windows.1

But I need git v2.3.6 specific version.

Is it possible?
How?

You will have to use Git...

cd /usr/src/git
git checkout v2.3.6.windows.1
make install

Well.. actually you could skip that rebuilding by manually deprecating your mingw-w64-git package. Just download the version you want from the bintray repository here or here. Then run pacman -U path/to/package

Something went wrong with the install, there is no cloned git dir:

Reinitialized existing Git repository in C:/winprg/git-sdk-64/usr/src/MINGW-packages/.git/
fatal: remote origin already exists.

Strange...

UPDATE: I turned off Comodo Firewall, but still unsuccessful git clone.
I used the

git-sdk-installer-1.0.0-rc-3-64.7z.exe

and did set
C:\winprg\git-sdk-64
as install directory, all others were done automatically.

Reinitialized existing Git repository in C:/winprg/git-sdk-64/usr/src/MINGW-packages/.git/ fatal: remote origin already exists.

This means that you already have a Git SDK.

[webmaster33]

You suggested to build git from source to get the desired git version, but if there is no source how can I build it?

I have no other git sdk installed, I renamed all instances.

[linquize]

The installer automatically clones the necessary repositories and then build the HEAD revision of git.git. If you want to build a revision other than HEAD revision, you have to abort the build process, checkout the desired revision and build it yourself.
The source repositories are downloaded to C:\git-sdk-64\usr\src

Your earlier post suggests that there is still C:/winprg/git-sdk-64/usr/src/MINGW-packages/, i.e. there is a Git SDK at C:/winprg/git-sdk-64/.

[dscho]

In any case, you should be able to fix your particular Git SDK by calling

cd /usr/src/
git clone -c core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/git-for-windows/git
cd git
git checkout v2.3.6.windows.1
make install

Wouldn't be logical to select which version you want to install?
It would be just a drop-down list option with the available tags.

@dscho: Anyway, thanks your help, I will do as you suggested, will do a git clone manually.

something is wrong with git clone :(

w33@w33-PC MINGW64 /c/winprg/git-sdk-64/usr/src
$ git clone -c core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/git-for-windows/git
Cloning into 'git'...

w33@w33-PC MINGW64 /c/winprg/git-sdk-64/usr/src
$ ls
build-extra/  MINGW-packages/  MSYS2-packages/

When debugging ssh:

w33@w33-PC MINGW64 /c/winprg/git-sdk-64/usr/src
$ ssh -vT https://github.com/git-for-windows/git                                OpenSSH_6.7p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2a 19 Mar 2015
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
ssh: Could not resolve hostname https://github.com/git-for-windows/git: Name or service not known

This is an HTTPS URL, not an SSH one. Trying to connect to it with SSH doesn't make sense.

Try cloning with the command below. Does it show any errors?
GIT_TRACE=1 git clone -c core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/git-for-windows/git

[webmaster33]

I got this result, no errors:

w33@w33-PC MINGW64 /usr/src
$ GIT_TRACE=1 git clone -c core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/git-for-windows/git
18:23:56.440219 git.c:348               trace: built-in: git 'clone' '-c' 'core.autocrlf=false' 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git'

18:23:56.510223 run-command.c:347       trace: run_command: 'git-remote-https' 'origin' 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git'

[webmaster33]

I also tried the following:

w33@w33-PC MINGW64 /usr/src
$ GIT_TRACE=1 ../../mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https.exe 'origin' 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git'

w33@w33-PC MINGW64 /usr/src
$ ls
build-extra/  MINGW-packages/  MSYS2-packages/

No any output.
