linux-next: failing to fetch the sysctl tree

Hi Eric,

Fetching the sysctl tree produces this error:

fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master

And indeed the sysctl tree on git.kernel.org is completely empty (i.e.
there are no commits).  Maybe you should remove it and recreate it as a
fork of Linus' tree.

Something weird happened when I re-uploaded things.  Apparently hitting
Ctrl-C if when you are uploading and realized you forgot to clone from
Linus's repository is fatal to how git.kernel.org manages things.  Last
I checked I could not even delete the broken repository.

Can you please switch to linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl.git instead of
sysctl-2.6.git.

With a little luck I will have something interesting in there this
round.

Thanks,
Eric

Done.

BTW to remove the other tree do this:

ssh gitolte@ra.kernel.org unlock pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl-2.6
ssh gitolte@ra.kernel.org rm pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl-2.6

Thanks.  unlock was apparently the gitolite magic command I did not know about.
