I really don't understand why packed refs or not depend on the protocol. It doesn't make any sense.
It does. And the program you using is currently maintainerless.

Yes. Just edit you remote to point somewhere else. Looks for "remote" in .git/config or .git/remotes/origin.
Or clone it from http://repo.or.cz/r/linux-2.6.git, and switch it to www.kernel.org?
Whatever, works anyway: $ git clone --reference /home/auli/linux-2.6.git \ http://repo.or.cz/r/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.or.cz - 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
