Ok, that's what I thought. A working git repo would really be helpful.

Well, yes, kind of. I'm doing some archaeological research, digging deep
inside prehistoric PreemptRT and trying to figure out what we can learn
from history.

RT is a pretty huge patch stack which has been around for a couple of
years. I'm trying to find answers to questions like:
 - how did RT evolve over the years?
 - which kind of patches went upstream?
 - how long did a patch live in the RT stack before it went upstream?
 - which kind of patches tend to stay in the patch stack and will
probably not go upstream?

Therefore I'm happy for anything old that's still available out there.
Anything helps.
I will keep you informed.

Thank you
  Ralf
