Actually, fetching from kernel.org first and then switching the origin isn't helping. The host is http only since I can't get access to the git network port. When I pushed up my local repo it ends up in one big pack. I do this: git clone kernel.org move the origin git pull -- it still pulls down the entire pack and takes an hour Will this fix it? at my remote host, first clone from kernel.org then push my local changes? -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx - 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
