Git clone of a specific release [message #1842692]

Hello,
following the instructions of Platform_Build, I was able to build the current release. There the listed command for the local git clone is:

git clone -b master --recursive \
git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git

How can I find out, what the command must be to get e.g. the release of Eclipse 2021-03 or 06 but not just the latest?

I believe all the platform repositories the tag R4_20 for the 4.20 release corresponding to the 2021-06 SimRel release. R4_19 would be the 2021-03 release. So you'd need to check out that tag on each clone.

Switched to a new branch 'R4_20_maintenance'

/d/z (R4_20_maintenance)
$ git branch -a
* R4_20_maintenance
  master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/R3_8_maintenance
  remotes/origin/R4_10_maintenance
  remotes/origin/R4_11_maintenance
  remotes/origin/R4_12_maintenance

If rebuiding as described above there will still the master branch be built, since using "git checkout -b R4_20_maintenance" isn't the correct command. Instead this branch must be cloned similar to the master branch e.g. with this command:

git clone -b R4_20_maintenance --recursive \
git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git \
