No, the normal way is to clone Linus's repo because that's the master tree. It has several advantages: - - Makes updating much easier: git pull - - It's the master repo, all other kernel repos I know are a clone of that repo. Because there is a common ancestor it's possible to pull objects from those repos. - - If you have a useful patch, Linus (or somebody else upstream) can pull from your repo just because you use a common ancestor. > Of course, if I cloned source from th*e* Linus Torvalds's, everything > goes well. So use Linus's repo. Erik - -- They're all fools. Don't worry.
