Dreamhost is way slow compared to kernel.org, so it is better to clone
from kernel.org first and then pull from dreamhost. What is the right
sequence of commands so that a new user will end up with a kernel they
can use 'git pull' on to get updates from dreamhost? I'll add these to
the repo description page.

I'm trying this locally and I can't figure out the right sequence of
git command to redirect origin from kernel.org to dreamhost.

Doing this was bad, it messed up my heads.
jonsmirl@terra:~/foo/digispeaker$ git remote rm origin
