The command
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa

Does not work for me while others do. It hangs indefinitely (I let it
run once half a day, doing strace to see that I was waiting to a read on
a socket).

If the full clone requires a day on 1Mbit sped, I guess you will have
few volunteers.

I tool you in the first mail, I use drm git, xf86-video-nouveau git and
you still suggest I should learn how to use git? In my kernel udate
script I have git fetch ; git rebase origin for several trees. I ommited
mesa because of the bug

I do not mind you use a whole kernel tree provide you provide automated
way to extract diff compared to the kernel you pull in. I've found the
tarball already but will rather extract the whole code and modify my
rather complex kernel update script to move original drm directory back
and forth for the sake of using still using ketchup, drm git update
xf86-video-nouveau git update  and regular kernel patching way.
