GIT is a tool to ease work on linux kernel, but the way you use it makes harder life of users of your tree. For example your tree contains more than 350 000 objects ! That makes a lot of git commands running slow... Let's say I'm developing a net drivers on ARM platform. I'm actually do not care about ARM development, but I do care about net tree. To do that, I just need to clone net tree because I know that ARM should be OK with this tree. What about MIPS ? I'm just wondering why not asking to Linus to pull from your tree like every others maintainers do ? Ivan
