Re: git repository for SR-IOV development?

[Yu Zhao <yu.zhao@uniscape.net>]

Hello Lance,

Thanks for your interest in SR-IOV. As Greg said we can't have a git 
tree for the change, but you are welcome to ask any question here and I 
also will keep you informed if there is any update on the SR-IOV patches.

Thanks,
Yu
