No, this should be (3) or so.  You really want to 'git clone' linus's tree and
then 'git remote add' the linux-next tree before you do this.

If you're new to git, do yourself a favor, follow the directions, and just
build and then boot an updated linux-next kernel every day for a week or so,
just so you know you haven't dorked up your base, *before* you go adding
more branches of your own.

And you'll do yourself a favor by calling the branch 'nickswork' or something
so you don't confuse it with a -next branch down the road.  If you're planning
to go on another scattershot ramble across the kernel like before, you
*really* want to put each set of patches on a separate topic branch so you
can switch to that branch and 'git diff' will then only produce a diff that
contains the 2-3 patches in that topic.
