Maybe you should remove it and recreate it as a > fork of Linus' tree. Something weird happened when I re-uploaded things. Apparently hitting Ctrl-C if when you are uploading and realized you forgot to clone from Linus's repository is fatal to how git.kernel.org manages things. Last I checked I could not even delete the broken repository. Can you please switch to linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl.git instead of sysctl-2.6.git. With a little luck I will have something interesting in there this round. Thanks, Eric
