Yeah, that's one way around that issue. I really should just flip on cloning over http... git's memory consumption is kind of infuriating. > > The bcache branch compiles but hasn't been tested.

I think the block layer's been fairly quiet since ~2.6.39 or .38, the patches in the bcache-3.1 tree should move back that far without any issues. But it won't compile on any of them just yet.. I think the stuff that's left is trivial but it's late and I have to be up too early. And yeah, you'll need CONFIG_BCACHE.
