I always use tarballs instead of git. Because; I have several Linux
boxes and just one time I download the kernel tarball then spreading it
with scp to other Linux boxes easily. Otherwise, I have to prepare a
tarball by myself to distribute it which is a time waste and
unpractical. Also, getting the whole 700-800 MB of kernel tree with git
is not very Internet bandwidth (Consider that in some ISPs and
countries, Internet usage is limited by monthly quotas.) friendly.
BTW, I'm eagerly waiting to test out the latest 3.0-rc2 when the
corrected tarballs uploaded to kernel.org :-)
