Hi, FYI, the http://repo.or.cz/ public Git hosting now supports project forking, which basically means that if you've done something cool to an existing project and want to publish your work, you can create a "fork" of the project on repo.or.cz and it will group nicely together in gitweb and users will be hinted about the possibility to use --reference when cloning your changes; also, repo.or.cz disk space will be conserved thanks to the alternates mechanism. ;-) The other main goal aside gitweb grouping wasn't achieved yet though - greatly reduced push times. Hey, pushing Git to a new repository takes inordinate amount of time (actually also mostly because all the objects are unpacked on the remote side, which is silly as well), I didn't try pushing Linux kernel to a fresh repository but it'll likely take ages. The idea would be to make git-receive-pack take alternates into account when announcing what commits does the server side have, but someone will need to code up a patch for that... It wasn't tested heavily, so please tell me about any warts you hit.
