Yup.  I actually did something more like this to get the test
repository:

  git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git
  git fetch git://kernel.org/pub/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git master

The android kernel repository I had handy on my local system was
quite a bit away from Linus' so I wound up with two different but
sizable packs.  I thought android was closer to upstream, but its
apparently not.  I started from there because it was local and I
thought it would be a quick way to get a test environment, but
sadly it didn't even have the base 56d18e we were talking about.
