A small tip that I use all the time. Once you download your first kernel
git repository, you can use it as a reference for future kernel clones,
with the --reference option.
For instance,
git clone --reference ${HOME}/linux/torvalds/
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/some-other-tree/linux.git
I keep one 'torvalds' repo, to track Linus' changes and as reference for all my
other repos.
