Also, a bonus recipe: how to import Linus's pack files (it's easy). This recipe presumes that you have a vanilla-Linus repo (/repo/linux-2.6) and your own repo (/repo/myrepo-2.6). $ cd /repo/myrepo-2.6 $ git-fsck-cache # fsck, make sure we're OK $ git pull /repo/linux-2.6/.git # make sure we're up-to-date $ cp -al ../linux-2.6/.git/objects/pack .git/objects $ cp ../linux-2.6/.git/refs/tags/* .git/refs/tags $ git-prune-packed $ git-fsck-cache # fsck #2, make sure we're OK This recipe reduced my kernel.org sync from ~50,000 files to ~5,000 files.
