[Buildroot] Fetching kernel via git

[Buildroot] Fetching kernel via git

[Cameron Hutchison]

Is there some way to configure buildroot to fetch the kernel sources
via git?

I am currently downloading my third complete kernel source tree for
2.6.32.7, previously having downloaded 2.6.23.3 and 2.6.31.6.

I keep a git repository with a clone of Linus's public tree and the
stable trees, so it would save greatly on bandwidth and time if
buildroot could clone the kernel from that local repository instead of
downloading a source tarball every time the extraversion bumps up a
version.

Patches have been posted on the mailing list before. See 
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-January/031499.html 
for most recent.

Will try to clean up my patch and submit it shortly.
