What should I do to standardize the setup so that 'clone/pull' will
work on it? I created a master branch. I gave up on fighting with
gitweb and no branch named master.

I'd like to do this, but I can't figure out how.

git clone linus
move origin to digispeaker
git pull

There doesn't seem to be a simple way to redirect the origin.
