I'm willing to do that - but I still don't get what I actually type.

I just tried:

    mkdir linux
    cd linux
    git init

    git addremote linus rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
    # The above complained:
    #	grep: .git/remotes: No such file or directory
    # but still seemed to work ?

    git pull linus	# seems to get the same files I pulled before ... ok.
    # The above complained:
    #	client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option?


Now what?  I still don't have the working source files for a kernel,
and I don't see how to specify in particular whatever Linus meant by

	a2755a80f40e5794ddc20e00f781af9d6320fafb

I issued a 'git --help' command (yeah - git is different - should be 'git help')
but I don't see any command that looks like it would checkout the working files.
