I don't know that acronym, but if you ask me when it should happen: _Before_ the next big thing is released, e.g. before 2.6.20-final. Reason: You never know how long they're chewing [downloading] on 2.6.20. Excluding other projects on kernel.org from my hypothesis, I'd suppose the lowest bandwidth usage the longer no new files have been released. (Because everyone has them then more or less.) -`J' -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
