Ok, I must be doing something totally bone-headed.  Because this is what
I tried to do before I headed down the path of making that script work.

Doing the above yields ...

(18:47:37:davej@hera:agp2)$ export KERNEL=master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/
(18:47:43:davej@hera:agp2)$ git fetch $KERNEL/torvalds/linux-2.6 master:linus

  branch 'master' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git//torvalds/linux-2.6
* refs/heads/linus: storing branch 'master' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git//torvalds/linux-2.6

which looks ok, but then when I do the git log linus..HEAD, I get no output at all.

Whatever I'm doing wrong, I'm doing it consistently, as this happens
in all my trees both locally, and on k.o

*click*, ahh wait, I didn't have a 'linus' branch before I did that fetch.
For the above to work, do I need there to be a 'linus' branch before
I start making changes ?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree ?
