Re: How to git clone kernel source fast?

Hi Michael,

I am an undergraduate from China. I asked a similar question in the list
several days ago.

Considering the connecting situation in my city(Nanjing, Jiangsu), I
used CHINATELECOM and it can speed up over 2MB/s when cloning the souce
tree. I don't think it is the GFW that causes trouble.

My suggestion is changing to another ISP. Alternatively, I can share my
mainline kernel tree(git cloned from git.kernel.org) with you via Baidu Pan:

	http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJ5akjD

You need to `git pull` to update it after uncompressing because it is a
little bit out-of-date.


Hope this can help!
Freeman

Thus It  makes me eager to be a kernel contributor. I want to participate the project "Block layer projects that I haven't had time for" raised by Kent. I have read the mails about it in lkml and the source code.
