It seems that kernel.org hasn't finished updating the mirrors yet -
and it seems to be taking hours.  Unfortunately, this has left Linus'
public git tree in an inconsistent state.

I won't speculate why stuff is so slow - that's for the kernel.org
admins to work out.

Actually it's getting closer to days (last I checked it was over half a
day), which really is a shame as it basically destroys the usability of
having git repos available there... Lets hope it gets fixed soon.

I think it isn't taking days, based upon the start times of the
processes I saw earlier today and yesterday.

If not already done, maybe the kernel.org ftp admins would prefer
to be informed about the problem?  Reporting the problems with
kernel.org to lkml might only reach folk who use the services, not
those who provide them.

No not days, half a day at least :)

I already informed hpa earlier today. I did the same thing a while back
when we were getting close to 4-6 hour sync time and they did fix
"something" back then. So hopefully they can figure it out again...

Yes, hopefully they can fix that soon.

Whatever it is, it seems to be affecting only Linus' git tree,
as it seems all other git trees are accounted for.

I have made 4 passes at re-grabbing the 2.6.14-rc2 with git, and each
time it exits with an error, but the tree it grabs looks to be ok. 
Somethings a bit wonky here.

The error:

tags/v2.6.14-rc2

The reason is that all metadata, tags, etc is there.

Well, I think what I was trying to ask but got lost in the bushes was
"do I have a valid download?"  and, how do I go about keeping it upto
date now that I have it?  I've read about half the git.txt stuff in
the Documentation dir, but nothing sticks out as being the magic
updater command.

Gene,

In order to update your copy of the kernel repository just run "git pull".
   Unfortunately there still seem to be some issues with kernel.org,
hopefully that'll be fixed up soon.

The warning you're getting from git about "alternates" will be fixed in
the next release of git.   You _could_ use your current version of git to
track the official git repository and get this fix before it's officially
released:

$ cd ~
$ git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ git-repo
$ cd git-repo
$ git checkout
$ make install

Which should upgrade your current version of git to the very latest. 
After which you can upgrade git whenever you like by running:

$ cd ~/git-repo
$ git pull
$ make install

Cheers,
Sean

Thanks, I've printed this, and as soon as BDI-4.29.iso is here so I
have some bandwidth, I'll give it a shot.  But I think I'll do it in
/usr/src rather than ~=/root.  Is that going to be a problem?

This is a buglet in "git fetch", which only happens with rsync, I think.

Ignore it. It gives this warning because I don't have an alternates 
directory, but it really shouldn't. _Most_ archives don't have alternates.

It's fixed in the current git already. I thought it was fixed in 0.99.7 
already, but regardless, this error is harmless and should just be 
ignored.
