thank you, quite complete description. One question - any caveats in using git 
ls-remote to fetch graft point?

echo $(git ls-remote 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git v2.6.15 
| cut -f1) > .git/info/grafts

etc

this avoids downloading over 1G in the first place.
