How to get a git repository?

How to get a git repository?

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Hi,

I am maintainer of a very small part of the Linux kernel.
EMU10K1 SOUND DRIVER

This is the old OSS driver for SB Live and Audigy sound cards.
I have been sent some patches recently, so I was thinking about the best
way to get them added to the kernel.

I though that the best way would be for me to get my own git tree on
"http://www.kernel.org" so that when it gets updated, I can tell whoever
can do it, to simple do a git-pull when the time arises.

Alternatively, can Linus give me write access to just that part of the
Linux kernel tree?

So, can anybody help me with the best way to do this?

Kind Regards

James

They best way to get your patches into the kernel might be to send them 
through Andrew, who will add them to his -mm tree and later forward them 
to Linus.

If I assume correctly that "I have been sent some patches recently" 
means half a dozen patches and the whole amount of patches every year 
might be two dozen, I don't see any real reason for you to not simply 
handling them manually.
