Yeah, got the same idea. :) Have it already working. With the history tree
plugged in after "Linux 2.6.12-rc2":
   http://ehlo.org/~kay/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=2d137c24e9f433e37ffd10b3d5f418157589a8d2

Grafting worked pretty nice by just doing:
  echo "8d38eadb7a97f265f7b3a9e8a30df358c3a546c8 e7e173af42dbf37b1d946f9ee00219cb3b2bea6a" > $LOCALROOT/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/info/grafts
  echo $LOCALROOT/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/objects > $LOCALROOT/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/info/alternates

Thanks,
