[swift-dev] Building a swift release

[Timothy Wood]

I had to go spelunking in the build scripts to find this, so no idea if it is the proper way, but it seems to work. In a fresh checkout of the swift repo:


	./utils/update-checkout --clone --scheme swift-4.0-branch

This will clone all the needed repos and then check out the right branch.

In fact, the commit that tag references (https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/efb12f4d7a6aa7575333c13fbcdb7782426b130a <https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/efb12f4d7a6aa7575333c13fbcdb7782426b130a>) doesn’t seem to exist locally even after running “git fetch”, so I can’t even check out that commit’s parent and cherry-pick the release commit.

Frustratingly, checking out "swift-4.0-branch” in both apple/swift and apple/swift-llvm does not build on linux either. This appears to be due to a rename/move of Dwarf.h somewhere along the line.
